President Trump plans to nominate White House economist Stephen Miran to fill a six-month vacancy on the Federal Reserve’s board of governors. <\/p>\n
In a post on social media<\/a>, Trump said he wants Miran to fill the board seat being vacated by Adriana Kugler, whose term expires at the end of January. Kugler announced last week<\/a> she’s leaving the Fed six months early to return to a teaching post at Georgetown University. <\/p>\n Trump said he will continue to search for a nominee to fill a new, 14-year term on the Fed board that begins early next year. The nominations are subject to Senate confirmation.<\/p>\n Miran currently serves as chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers. He also held a post in the Treasury Department during Trump’s first term as president. <\/p>\n
