Senator JD Vance, R-Ohio, who is former President Trump's vice presidential nominee, expressed support for Trump's idea that U.S. presidents should have a say in the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions, including interest rate changes.
In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Vance agreed with Trump, arguing that such decisions should involve America's elected leaders and not be left solely to the independent Federal Reserve.
Vance acknowledged that this would mark a significant shift from the traditional approach, where the Fed operates independently of political influence, but emphasized that Trump is advocating for greater political input, not direct control, over monetary policy.
