The Senate will also vote on prospective Fed chair Jerome Powell, who was named chair pro tempore in February, as well as Lael Brainard for vice-chair and economist Philip Jefferson as Fed governor.<\/p>\n<p>All four of Biden\u2019s nominations for the central bank were held up for a February vote following a\u00a0boycott of the decision\u00a0by Senate Banking Committee Republicans who\u00a0cited their concerns over prospective Fed vice chair for supervision Sarah Bloom Raskin. Ranking member Senator Pat Toomey reportedly said at the time Republican members would support Powell, Brainard, Jefferson and Cook \u2014 but not Raskin. <\/p>\n<p>On March 15, the prospective Fed vice chair for supervision withdrew her name from consideration, citing \u201crelentless attacks by special interests.\u201d Democratic Senator Joe Manchin also reportedly <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-03-14\/manchin-won-t-back-raskin-for-fed-imperiling-her-confirmation\">sided<\/a> with Republicans, saying he would not support Raskin\u2019s nomination.
