‘Today, the Senate is considering the nomination of Mr. Powell, who brings with him degrees from Princeton and Georgetown, and a record of high achievement in both the public and private sectors. Since his nomination to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in 2011, which received strong, bipartisan support, he has served as a steady voice and a thoughtful leader. I very much look forward to supporting his confirmation as Chairman.’

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) released the following statement today regarding President Donald Trump’s intent to nominate John Nalbandian of Kentucky to serve on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit:
