Senator Elizabeth Warren is shifting her stance on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, defending him against President Donald Trump’s attacks despite a history of criticizing him. Following years of accusing Powell of being corrupt and reckless, Warren now stands in his defense, citing concerns about political influence on the Fed. This change comes after Trump threatened to remove Powell, a move which Warren fears could destabilize financial markets. Warren argues that Powell maintains political neutrality within the Fed, despite disagreements with his monetary policy decisions. She emphasizes the importance of an independent Fed in maintaining market stability and criticizes Trump’s attempt to influence financial regulations through executive power. The conflict stems from a history of contrasting viewpoints on economic policy between Warren and Trump, further complicated by legal challenges questioning the extent of the Fed’s independence.
