Republicans BOYCOTT committee hearing for Biden's Federal Reserve Vice Chair pick Sarah Bloom Raskin

Sarah Bloom Raskin, wife of Rep. Jamie Raskin, is a former Treasury and Federal Reserve official

A 12-12 vote along party lines in the committee could complicate a Senate-wide confirmation vote

Mitch McConnell said the delayed vote should serve as a warning to President Joe Biden against choosing 'radical' nominees

Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee have boycotted a meeting scheduled for Tuesday afternoon to vote
on President Joe Biden's slate of nominees to the Federal Reserve, which includes Chairman Jerome Powell's bid for
a second term.

They are protesting the nomination of former Treasury and Fed official Sarah Bloom Raskin to the top U.S. banking
regulatory role after the ex-Obama administration official signaled an openness to impose financial regulations for
fighting climate change, and due to accusations she improperly lobbied for a fintech firm.

Guess it's illegal to lobby if you're a Democrat
