Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Senate majority provides a stronger defense against presidential pressure on the Fed. This could give the Fed and Chairman Kevin Warsh more freedom to use higher interest rates to fight inflation. Consequently, Donald Trump's ability to exert control over the central bank's monetary decisions is reduced.
