The president’s tweet came barely an hour after Moore appeared on Bloomberg TV and vowed he was not going to quit the race
President Donald Trump, clearly angry at the Federal Reserve over last year’s interest-rate hikes, decided to push forward candidates that he’d selected himself for two remaining vacant seats on the central bank’s board of governors.The latest to depart is Stephen Moore, the former Wall Street Journal editorial writer and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution.“Steve Moore, a great pro-growth economist and a truly fine person, has decided to withdraw from the Fed process,” Trump said.
. In a statement, Moore said that “the unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family and three more months of this would be too hard on us.” He said he asked Trump to withdraw his name from consideration.
