🇺🇸 WHO IS KEVIN HASSETT - AND WHAT HAPPENS IF HE RUNS THE FED?

Kevin Hassett, currently Trump’s top economic adviser as head of the National Economic Council, is the frontrunner to take over the Federal Reserve - and he’s not your typical central banker.

He started as a mainstream economist, worked at the Fed, advised Mitt Romney, and wrote a famously mistimed book predicting a stock market boom in 1999.

Then he joined Team Trump, embraced MAGA economics, and became a go-to TV voice backing trade wars, tax cuts, and attacks on the Fed.

He says the Fed’s been too slow to cut rates and too political - echoing Trump’s own opinions against current chair Powell.

If he gets the job, expect pressure for faster rate cuts and way less distance between the White House and the Fed.

Some warn it could shake up markets and change how independent the Fed operates - but Trump allies say it’s time for a Fed that works with, not against, the White House.
