صادق مجلس الشيوخ الأمريكي يوم الأربعاء على تعيين كيفن وورش رئيساً لمجلس الاحتياطي الفيدرالي خلفاً لجيروم باول. وجاء التصويت في أعقاب عملية مصادقة منفصلة يوم الثلاثاء على تعيينه عضواً في مجلس محافظي الاحتياطي الفيدرالي.
وافق المشرعون على تولي وورش رئاسة المجلس لفترة مدتها أربع سنوات، بالإضافة إلى عضويته في مجلس المحافظين لمدة 14 عاماً. وقد جاءت عمليات المصادقة إلى حد كبير وفقاً للخطوط الحزبية. وكان وورش هو خيار الرئيس دونالد ترامب لهذا المنصب.
