Democrats gaining control of the US Senate has created a new obstacle for President Donald Trump's attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. The Senate's Democratic majority can approve or reject Trump's nominees, including Federal Reserve appointments. Trump fired Cook in August 2025 over mortgage fraud allegations, which she denies and is legally contesting. This Senate shift complicates Trump's efforts to replace her.
