特朗普上周五下午被问及沃什是否位居美联储主席人选首位时，其表示“是的，我认为他是，我认为两位凯文都很棒。”特朗普随后补充道，“而且我认为还有其他几位也很优秀的人选。”摩根大通 CEO 戴蒙此前支持沃什出任下一届美联储主席，称其将成为“伟大的主席”。
据 CNBC 援引知情人士报道，一度被市场视为美联储主席“准候选人”的 Kevin Hassett（哈塞特），近期遭到能够直接影响前总统特朗普决策的高层人士质疑。矛盾点在于：哈塞特因与特朗普关系密切最初被视为接替现任主席鲍威尔的最有力人选，但如今同样因“与总统走得太近”引发担忧。这种压力或可解释为何候选人面试在 12 月初被取消后又重新安排（至少对沃什而言已在上周完成）。
