Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to testify Tuesday morning before the House Financial Services Committee on the state of the U.S. economy, according to The Hill’s live coverage of the hearing.

The hearing will place Warsh before lawmakers as the committee examines current economic conditions and the outlook for U.S. monetary policy, with members set to question him on the factors shaping inflation, jobs, and broader financial conditions.

The Hill reported that the appearance comes as President Donald Trump has seen his approval rating decline amid rising affordability concerns and “pocketbook” pressures tied to the ongoing war with Iran. The report framed the hearing as a timely moment for lawmakers to press for explanations about the economic impact of those conditions and the path forward.

As the Federal Reserve Chair speaks in a congressional setting, the practical stakes include how lawmakers assess risks to households and businesses and how they evaluate whether monetary policy remains aligned with employment and inflation goals.

The House Financial Services Committee’s hearing also reflects the committee’s oversight role over issues affecting financial markets and the economy, including regular public engagement between senior regulators and elected representatives.

While the political debate around affordability is expected to feature prominently in questioning, the hearing remains focused on Warsh’s testimony and the policy-relevant information he provides on current conditions and the Federal Reserve’s assessment of economic trends.

Why It Matters

  • The hearing provides a direct venue for lawmakers to press the Federal Reserve Chair on the economic conditions affecting inflation and everyday consumer costs.
  • House Financial Services questioning can shape how Congress frames oversight priorities and future hearings related to monetary policy and financial stability.
  • The timing of Warsh’s testimony, amid heightened affordability concerns reported by The Hill, may influence how lawmakers emphasize household impacts during the record-building phase of oversight.
  • The public testimony forms part of the regular accountability relationship between Congress and the Federal Reserve, which can affect subsequent legislative attention to financial regulatory and economic issues.
