Washington | Brad Sherman, a California Democrat in the House of Representatives, was saying what many in his party privately believe when he called for President Joe Biden to reappoint Jay Powell for a second term as chair of the Federal Reserve.
“I’ve lived through two economic crises in Congress: 2008 and 2020. And 2020 was handled much better,” said Mr Sherman
. “Reassuring people at a time when we are dealing with COVID-19 and some level of inflation is a good idea.”
