Bumping this thread to get back to the original topic, Judy Shelton. According to the [Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-moves-to-confirm-trump-fed-nominee-waller-but-sheltons-candidacy-hits-likely-dead-end-11606936087) (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.
