9月美聯儲理事會的可能組成：特朗普可能以四比三占優，也可能打成平手

Jinse Finance reported that, in addition to Cook, who is currently in a legal dispute with Trump, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (with a full complement of 7 members) also includes Powell and two governors appointed by the Biden administration (Jefferson and Barr), who, like Cook, are aligned with Powell. In addition, there are two governors appointed by Trump during his first term (Waller and Bowman), both of whom voted in favor of a rate cut in July. Trump has nominated his advisor Stephen Moore to fill the vacancy left by Kugler's resignation, and the Senate Banking Committee will hold a confirmation hearing for Moore's nomination next Thursday. If the approval process is fast enough, he may join the Federal Reserve in time for the September meeting, which means Trump will have at least three supporters on the Board. Furthermore, if the court rules that Trump can dismiss Cook, Trump will quickly nominate her successor, thus gaining a four-to-three majority of supporters on the Board. It is unlikely that this ruling will be completed before the September meeting, but Cook's absence may result in a tie among the three Trump-appointed governors, the two Biden-appointed governors, and Powell.
