Powell was appointed as Fed Chairman by then-President Trump in 2018. His term was extended until 2026 under the Joe Biden administration. During that time, former President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Powell’s interest rate hikes and repeatedly vowed to dismiss him if he returned to the White House.
