Summary

Senator Tillis indicated that Mark Warsh's nomination as Federal Reserve chair will face a lengthy confirmation process in the Senate.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor the actual nomination when submitted and the Senate Banking Committee hearings for Warsh's monetary policy positions and potential conflicts of interest.

Why This Score

This is a procedural Senate statement about a nomination process that hasn't begun yet—no actual governance action has occurred. The event describes normal constitutional process (Senate advice and consent) without any institutional harm, capture mechanism, or distraction tactics. It's essentially pre-event speculation about timeline.
