Banking chairman sticking with Raskin despite Manchin opposition

[AZProgressive]

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said Monday he is keeping Sarah Bloom Raskin, President Biden’s nominee to serve as vice chair of supervision, in his package of nominees to the Federal Reserve, despite the opposition of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).

Brown said he’s going to force Manchin and Republicans to vote Raskin down on the Senate floor and won’t drop her from the package of Fed nominees that includes a new term for chairman Jerome Powell.

“Why would we not move forward? Have a vote. Vote her down, if they want. Vote her up. Either way, have a vote,” Brown told reporters Monday.

He is predicting Raskin can still win confirmation to the Fed, despite her controversial views about the central bank weighing the financial risks of climate change.

1. I know we shouldn't say anything about a Democrat but I've had enough. Joe Manchin
