National Economic Council director and President Donald Trump's top economic advisor, Gary Cohn, is the leading candidate to take over the top job at the Federal Reserve, according to a report from Politico.
Politico's Ben White and Victoria Guida said Tuesday that if Cohn wants the job currently occupied by Chair Janet Yellen, it's his to take, according to four sources close to the replacement search.
Cohn had been reportedly leading up the search for someone to take over for Yellen when her term expires in February 2018. Reports also suggested that Cohn may be interested in the job.

Channeling Milton Friedman...
I’ll pass on Cohn.
We already have enormous Goldman Sachs influence in our government—we don’t need any more.
When do we get to do a real audit of that place?
Better Friedman than G. William Miller.
Depends on the bank but generally every fall.
Larry Kudlow
Goldman Sachs is the public relations arm of the Federal Reserve
Freedom and limited government are ultimately inconsistent with a centrally-planned and manipulated, politicized, fiat monetary system. The latter will steadily destroy the former, as we are now seeing.
This is the best nomination by POTUS in my opinion.
Janet Yellen is terrible at FED. Slowest recovery ever!
Yellen printed $5-10 TRILLION and funneled most to Wall St to prop-up stocks.
Biggest wealth redistribution in the history of the world.
Yep. I would rather have cohn there than meddling in everything else at WH with dina powell.
Do we need a fed?
Definitely for this administration if not for the Fed itself.
We cant even get the fed audited. People too afraid they will get the kennedy treatment
Depends on your point of view. Burns and Miller oversaw double-digit inflation rates and interest rates. At least Yellen avoided that.
Define 'audited'. You mean like a financial audit? Like any other bank or financial institution gets?
Audit the Fed bill will never be passed under this Admin..and not saying it relates to Trump...its just not going to happen. He will never get a chance to sign it
Let's try again. What do you mean by "audited"? How does that differ from a standard financial audit that looks at financial statements, assets, liabilities, etc.?
I gave you the reference
There is an audit the fed bill. Ask your congress person
