BREAKING: Judy Shelton's nomination to serve on the Federal Reserve has been stalled




Police cars revolving lightBREAKING: Judy Shelton’s nomination to serve on the Federal Reserve has been stalled after VP-elect Kamala Harris’s major vote in the Senate. The final vote was 47-50, a major defeat for Trump.

With Mark Kelly being confirmed in the Senate in a few weeks and three GOP Senators against her confirmation, it is now extremely unlikely that Judy Shelton will join the Federal Reserve.

McConnell is evil enough to not care how many incompetent people he puts on the courts or in a long-term position that could help wreck the FED.

Senate Repukes love Trump ... but they love $$$ more.

Putting a whackadoodle on the Fed Reserve Board was a bridge too far for them.

Bigwig donors probably called and said ... ummmm ... no.

There's politics ... and then there's monetary policy.

She wants to completely remake our monetary policy to fit into an "originalist" agenda.

My question is why would anyone, Republican or Democrat, support her.

nothing about the Fed Reserve & the Gold Standard.

But she's a trump freak so she has no morals for one thing.
