Newly confirmed Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has appointed Paul Winfree, the author of the Federal Reserve chapter in Project 2025, and Daniel Heil, a Hoover Institution fellow, as temporary contract advisers to assist with policy analysis. The appointments — Warsh's first personnel moves since taking the helm — have reignited debate over the boundary between policy reform and political influence at the central bank, coming at a time when inflation has climbed to 3.8% and the Fed faces pressure from both the White House and markets.
