Bumping this thread to get back to the original topic, Judy Shelton. According to the Wall Street Journal (and other outlets) [I can’t read the whole article due to paywall], her nomination is likely dead now that Sen. Mark Kelly has been sworn in.
Senate Republicans’ bid to confirm Judy Shelton as a Federal Reserve governor appears unlikely to succeed now that a new Democratic senator has been seated, denying President Trump’s nominee the votes needed for approval.
Here’s hoping that’s true.
