Judy Shelton's Federal Reserve Board nomination failed to advance in the Senate as supportive Republican Sens. Charles Grassley (Iowa) and Rick Scott (Fla.) quarantined due to COVID-19 exposure. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) voted "no" in the 47-50 vote, allowing him to try to advance the nomination again later.
Also Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced his intent to nominate Brian Brooks for a five-year term as comptroller of the currency, though the Senate has limited time left this year to confirm new nominations.
