Thom Tillis — US Senator

Summary

  • Senator Tillis is blocking the nomination process (implied for Kevin Warsh) until a specific investigation is resolved or proven false.
  • He asserts that the administration was likely surprised by the investigation but emphasizes the necessity of an independent Fed.
  • Tillis notes that without resolving this issue, there is no path forward, as most Democrats will not vote for the nominee and there are not 60 votes for a discharge petition.
