Senate confirms Stephen Miran to fill vacancy on Fed Board of Governors
The Senate voted 48-47 Monday night to confirm White House Economic Adviser Stephen Miran's nomination to serve as a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted with all Democrats against the nomination. All other voting Republicans cast votes in favor of Miran, giving him enough support to be narrowly confirmed.
His nomination comes as President Donald Trump has made increasingly clear his desire to reshape the Fed. Miran will now be a Trump loyalist installed on the seven member board.
Miran was nominated by Trump to fill the void left by the sudden resignation of Adriana Kugler last month. Miran will now serve out the remainder of Kugler's term, which expires in January.
