Miran has emerged as a vocal defender of Trump’s economic agenda, particularly the 2025 tax cuts and the broad tariff regime.
President Donald Trump on Thursday announced his intent to nominate Stephen Miran, chairman of the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers, to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Miran would temporarily fill the seat left vacant by Biden appointee Adriana Kugler, who is stepping down Friday. If confirmed by the Senate, Miran would serve until January 31, 2026.
The appointment marks Trump’s first opportunity in his second term to exert more direct control over the Federal Reserve—an institution he has repeatedly criticized. Trump last week lashed out at Fed Chair Jerome Powell on social media, calling him „a stubborn MORON“ for not cutting interest rates amid his sweeping new tariffs.What We Know About Stephan Miran, Trump’s Pick for Federal Reserve Board of Governors
