Sources: Trump finalizes Walsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair through meetings and calls

According to the New York Post, sources revealed that on Thursday local time, after meeting with former Federal Reserve Governor and Stanford University professor Walsh, President Trump called Walsh again to ask if he would be willing to accept the position------and he ultimately agreed.

Reportedly, BlackRock executive Rick Reed was also a strong candidate for the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, but sources close to him indicated that Reed was informed on Thursday that he would not receive the appointment.
