President-elect Donald Trump considers former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh and billionaire Marc Rowan for Treasury secretary, according to the New York Times. Warsh, 54, is a fiscal hawk who served on the Fed from 2006 to 2011. Rowan, 62, co-founded Apollo Global Management. Trump also considers Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent for the role.

Lutnick, co-chair of Trump’s transition effort, and Bessent, a key economic adviser, were initially top candidates but Trump has had second thoughts. Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. support Lutnick. Trump is expected to meet with candidates in Florida this week at his Mar-a-Lago club. The transition team did not comment.
