Trump is standing behind controversial Fed board pick Herman Cain 'at the moment,' Kudlow says
WASHINGTON – White House support for Herman Cain, one of President Donald Trump's controversial Federal Reserve board picks, seemed to weaken Thursday, when Trump's top economic advisor Thursday pointedly declined to give Cain a full-throated endorsement.
Kudlow's hands-off attitude to the nomination is a stark departure from the traditional role played by White House officials after the president announces his intent to nominate someone to a post like the Fed board, which requires Senate confirmation. Kudlow is a former CNBC contributor. At least three Republican senators confirmed this week that they would not vote to confirm him to the post: Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Cory Gardner of Colorado, and newly minted Utah Sen. Mitt Romney.
Cain has denied all the allegations, calling them"bull crap" in an interview last week with The Washington Post."I'm not going to address any accusations, founded or unfounded. And they were all unfounded," Cain told the paper.
