Hassert: Trump's suggestion for me to withdraw from the race for Fed chairman may be right.

Kevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Council, said that President Trump is likely to let him continue in his current position, which would allow him to withdraw from the race for the next Federal Reserve Chairman position. "From the beginning, he has discussed with me whether it is better for me to stay in the West Wing of the White House or to go to the Federal Reserve," Hassett said on Fox News' The Sunday Briefing program. "I think he has not made a final decision yet." "I think we will continue to move forward," he said. "I believe the banking committee will soon inform us of the candidate they would like to see." "There are many outstanding candidates, and the president believes that perhaps the current position is the most suitable for me," Hassett said on Sunday. He said that Trump's evaluation of his future makes him "deeply honored and pleased," and called the president "a really good person."
