Trump adviser Kudlow praises Yellen Treasury nomination by Biden

Source: Politico

Top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Monday applauded President-elect Joe Biden's nomination of Janet Yellen to lead the Treasury Department — breaking with other Trump administration officials who have not even acknowledged that Biden won the election.

Kudlow offered the surprising praise for Yellen during a live interview with The Washington Post, during which the National Economic Council director also revealed that he has started sending congratulatory notes to some early Biden appointees.

Kudlow's comments come as President Donald Trump refuses to accept Biden's victory in the November election and has demanded that key states overturn their results because of what he calls voter fraud.

Kudlow said Yellen's nomination to lead Treasury was a "good idea." He said she "knows the ropes" and did a "decent job" when she chaired the Federal Reserve. He also doubts she would support raising taxes next year.

Not that it is necessarily wrong, it just gives one pause when someone as incompetent as Kudlow is on the same page.
