Jessica Blair, director of the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) Cymru, supported calls for a recall system to allow voters to remove misbehaving politicians between elections. But Ms Blair said voters should have a say over the replacement, warning an element of personal accountability will be lost with the Senedd’s new “closed-list” electoral system. From 2026, people will vote for parties rather than individuals as Wales ditches first past the post in favour of a full form of proportional representation, with no by-elections being held. Ms Blair said: “This idea of replacing someone with the next person on the list, it could be ... from the voters’ perspective ... seen as a party being rewarded for bad behaviour.” Giving evidence to the Senedd’s standards committee, she added: “This shouldn’t be necessarily about parties keeping control, it should be about voters having their say.” Labour’s Mick Antoniw pointed out it is the person, not the party, that has transgressed. But Ms Blair said: “That could also reflect badly on the party or the way a party’s handled it, so I don't think it's necessarily as clear cut, as this is one person’s actions.” She told the committee that three of the four UK Parliament by-elections triggered by recall petitions since 2019 were won by a different party. She said: “Parties can be punished for an individual’s bad behaviour or it could be a reflection of changing political support post election. There doesn’t seem to be a real case for retaining that party’s seat, especially three years after an election, for example.” The standards committee will make recommendations on how a recall mechanism should work in Wales as part of its inquiry on Senedd members’ accountability. Hannah Blythyn, who chairs the committee, asked witnesses whether the circumstances for recalling a Senedd member should be the same as Westminster. Ms Blair suggested the triggers – a custodial sentence of less than 12 months, a suspension of at least ten sitting days, or an expenses offence conviction – make a good starting point.UCLA football team’s Senior Day hints at some Bruins’ futures

(AP) — Spencer Knight made 20 saves, Mackie Samoskevich scored with less than a second left in the second period, and the Florida Panthers got four goals in the third to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 6-0 on Saturday and complete a two-day sweep. Aleksander Barkov, Sam Bennett, Aaron Ekblad, Evan Rodrigues and Adam Boqvist also scored for Florida, which won 6-3 at Carolina on Friday. The Panthers have won three straight — that streak following a stretch of six losses in seven games for the Stanley Cup champions. It was Knight’s fourth career shutout, his first since Nov. 9, 2022 — also at home against Carolina. Spencer Martin made 23 saves on 28 shots for the Hurricanes, who have dropped four of their last six games (2-3-1). It was Martin’s fourth consecutive start for Carolina. Takeaways Hurricanes: This was the first time all season that the Hurricanes failed to get a point in the game immediately following a loss. Carolina was 4-0-1 after a defeat entering Saturday. Panthers: A big day for Samoskevich — his alma mater Michigan beat Ohio State in football on Saturday, that game ending just before the Florida-Carolina game started. The Panthers are 5-0-0 when he scores this season. Sam Reinhart had each of the four most recent Florida goals at 19:59, before Samoskevich got his Saturday. Key moment The Panthers scored two goals 11 seconds apart in the third to make it 5-0, and Yaniv Perets replaced Martin in the Hurricanes’ net with 8:12 remaining. It was the second NHL appearance for Perets, who came on once in relief for Carolina last season.

(Photo by Dean Musgrove, Los Angeles Daily News/SCNG) Stacey Kent saw Irwindale Speedway built literally from the ground up. She worked for the team that helped construct the short track circuit in the late 1990s. Next weekend, Kent and the entire Southern California racing community will see the track take its final bow after 25 years as a staple of the San Gabriel Valley, and a draw for scores of visitors from around Southern California. On Saturday, Dec. 21, Irwindale Speedway is hosting a “Farewell Extravaganza” starting at 1 p.m., which will include a NASCAR short-track series, Night of Destruction events like Figure 8-s and trailer races, a Drift invitational and the ARCA Menards Series West. It will be another blow for the region’s racing culture, which now adds Irwindale to a roster of now long-lost eulogized sites, such as Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The closure of the iconic venue is to make way for the Speedway Commerce Center Specific Plan , a proposed project to turn the speedway site into a industrial/commercial/business park. “I’m sad for the city of Irwindale, too, because frankly that’s something that helps put Irwindale on the map,” Kent said. “Another in the how many hundreds of industrial parks and industrial buildings that they have in Irwindale. What does that do for them?” A little over a week before the last event at the speedway, Kent recalled the grand opening. It was a cold night in March 1999 with a packed house full of excited racing fans. “You could just feel it in the air,” Kent said. It’s the passionate racing fans, drivers and participants that Kent feels for the most. “They put their blood, sweat and tears and their hard earned money into being in events at Irwindale Speedway and I’m really sad for them,” Kent said. IDS Real Estate Group purchased the 63 acres of land in 2022 . The plan splits the site into a 56 acre industrial business park development and a 7.3 acre area for commercial development. Prior to the speedway, the Pacific Road Quarry mined sand and gravel for construction on the site through the 1960s. The quarry was then backfilled as part of the Nu-Way Landfill that operated from 1973 until 1993. This history has led to environmental headaches for future developers. But it’s also been rich in car culture. Irwindale’s racing history stretches back to the 1960s and 1970s when the San Gabriel Valley Speedway, later dubbed the 605 Speedway, hosted events. For years, it has joined a larger racing community in Southern California , where fans have seen the loss beloved tracks. The Ontario Motor Speedway opened in August 1970, at a cost of $25.5 million. At the time, the state-of-the-art facility was designed to be the “Indianapolis of the West.” The 800-acre venue made its mark, hosting races including Indy-style open-wheel, stock cars, and drag racing. But it fell victim to disappointing revenues and rising land values. It closed in December 1980. The Riverside International Raceway opened in September 1957. It was known as one of the finest tracks in the country, before it closed in July 1989 to make way for a shopping center and residential homes. Auto Club Speedway in Fontana built in 1997, remains the Inland Empire’s only large-scale auto racing facility. But 2023’s Pala Casino 400 was said to be the last for NASCAR on the 2-mile track as the site will be redeveloped. A short track is supposed to be on the site when it’s completed. The Perris Auto Speedway opened in 1996 near Perris, maintains racing on its half-mile oval track, and the historic Orange Show Speedway still hosts a variety of races. Back in Irwindale, a page on the city’s website with information about the project includes in a message in all caps and bolded which reads, “The city of Irwindale does not own the Irwindale Speedway.” “The City takes great pride in the contributions that the Irwindale Speedway has made to the racing community and will fondly look back on the memories created on the track and in the grandstands of the Irwindale Speedway,” a statement from the city read. NASCAR driver Ryan Vargas was 9 years old when his dad took him to Irwindale Speedway. From his seat in the grandstands seeing the cars whoosh by, Vargas became a NASCAR fan. “My dad takes me to Irwindale Speedway and I fall in love with the sport and I fell in love with racing,” Vargas, now 24, said. Next weekend, Vargas, originally from La Mirada, will be driving the #23 Swann Security/Sandy Vans pro late model car as part of the track’s farewell event. It’s a full-circle moment for Vargas, who took his first laps around the speedway at age 12 in a Bandolero race car powered by a 30-horsepower Briggs and Stratton lawn-mower engine. The #23 car has a bit more juice. The pro late model’s 602 crate engine has about 350-370 horse power. Vargas called Irwindale the perfect short track and fun to race because of its width. “You could choose from several different lanes to make a pass,” Vargas said. “I love a race track where you can make moves and pass and dictate your own runs and Irwindale is that.” In addition to the track, the speedway’s drag strip provided an opportunity for people of all ages to take part in legal street racing and sanctioned competitions. Mike Gonzaga runs the junior drag racing program for children 6 to 17. His connection with the speedway started about 10 years ago because of his daughter Jacelyn’s passion for drag racing. Jacelyn got her NHRA license at 8 and now 17, she recently won the final junior comp championship held at Irwindale Speedway. “I won’t be here forever. For her, I think she wants to take her career to the next level,” Gonzaga said. “She will always forever have that memory and we will always have that memory together there.” Gonzaga said Irwindale’s location made it unique in bringing people together from all over Southern California to one place. He likened the environment at the track to Sam Malone’s bar in the T.V. series “Cheers.” “Everybody knows your name and it was home for a very long time,” Gonzaga said. “That was the type of community that it was.” He called Irwindale Speedway President Tim Huddleston and his staff first class and the reason for the welcoming feeling. “They knew everybody by first name. They treated everybody the same and it was just fantastic,” Gonzaga said. “They made everybody feel at home” In a statement announcing the final event, the speedway said its assets and events will transition to Kevin Harvick’s Kern Raceway in Bakersfield for 2025. Vargas said while the loss of short tracks like Irwindale is disheartening, the West Coast continues to have healthy racing series. He said local racing fans should visit Orange Show Speedway in San Bernardino, what Vargas described as a West Coast version of North Carolina’s Bowman Gray Stadium. He urged fans to support their local short tracks. “At the end of the day they’re not the NASCAR tracks where people don’t show up, ‘well the T.V. dollars are coming in,’” Vargas said. “No, these tracks rely on not just the competitors but they rely on fans to be there.” For more information, visit irwindalespeedway.com .

Riley Moss has been ruled out against the Browns, the team listed on their final injury report. Moss suffered a knee injury in the first half of a Week 12 road win over the Raiders. He did not return. Coach Sean Payton previously described it as an MCL injury that “wasn’t really serious.” But Moss will miss at least one game while recovering. The Broncos now turn to cornerbacks Levi Wallace and Damarri Mathis without Moss against Cleveland. “We have depth there,” Payton said following practice Saturday at Broncos Park. “A number of those guys. They’ve played a lot. Those guys have done well.” Wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is listed as questionable against the Browns. Jones back healthy Safety Brandon Jones played through an illness when the Broncos defeated the Raiders. “I definitely had a little something,” Jones told The Denver Gazette on Saturday. “I was going through it the whole game. It’s one of those moments where you’ve just got to tough it out.” Jones intercepted Las Vegas quarterback Gardner Minshew in the third quarter to help turn the game around. Denver has also benefited from the strong play of safety P.J. Locke despite wearing a cast on his left hand for several games to protect his surgically repaired thumb. Toughness has become a defining trait of the Broncos’ secondary. “We just care that much about each other,” Jones said. “We love this team.” Kickin' it with Kiz: Dear Coach Prime: A bowl game is nice, but all I want for Christmas is a tricked-out pickup truck.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman plans to make a $1 million personal donation to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration fund, after other tech leaders pledged a similar amount. A spokesperson for OpenAI confirmed the donation Friday (Deember 13). The announcement follows similar contributions, including $1 million from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, and a planned $1 million donation from Amazon. A spokesperson for Amazon confirmed Thursday evening that the e-commerce giant will also stream Trump’s inauguration on its Prime Video service. The streaming arrangement is considered an in-kind donation valued at an additional $1 million. “President Trump will lead our country into the age of AI, and I am eager to support his efforts to ensure America stays ahead," Altman said in a statement. Altman, who is embroiled in a legal dispute with rival Elon Musk, said he is “not that worried” about Musk’s growing influence within Trump’s administration. Tech leaders seek to strengthen ties Trump recently tapped Musk, the world’s richest person, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to head the new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The advisory committee aims to work with government officials to reduce spending and regulations. The donations from Altman, Amazon and Meta show a broader push by tech companies to navigate a changing political landscape. The contributions come amid growing scrutiny of Silicon Valley’s influence and its role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence and innovation. Legal dispute between Altman and Musk Musk, a former OpenAI investor and board member, sued the artificial intelligence company earlier this year, accusing it of abandoning its mission of prioritising public benefit over profits. Musk has since escalated the lawsuit, asking a federal judge to block OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model. Altman has publicly downplayed Musk’s influence, but the legal battle is a clear marker of a rift between two of the tech world’s most prominent figures. With tech companies like OpenAI, Meta, and Amazon making significant contributions, the intersection of technology and politics continues to evolve in the lead-up to Trump’s inauguration. With inputs from agenciesNEW YORK (AP) — Free agent pitchers Luis Gabriel Moreno and Alejandro Crisostomo were suspended for 80 games each by Major League Baseball on Friday following positive tests for performance-enhancing substances under the minor league drug program. Moreno tested positive for Nandrolone, and Crisostomo tested positive for Boldenone and Nandrolone, the commissioner’s office said. A 26-year-old right-hander, Moreno was released by the New York Mets’ Class A Brooklyn Cyclones on Tuesday. He was 5-1 with a 5.33 ERA in 12 relief appearances this season for Brooklyn after spending 2016-23 in the San Francisco Giants organization. Crisostomo, a 24-year-old right-hander, was released by Minnesota on Aug. 24 after going 0-1 with a 7.13 ERA this year with the Florida Complex League Twins. He signed with Boston in 2017, spent 2018 in the Dominican Summer League with the Red Sox, then signed with Minnesota and spent 2023 with the Twins DSL team. Nineteen players have been suspended this year for positive drug tests, including eight under the minor league program and nine under the new program for minor league players assigned outside the United States and Canada. Two players have been suspended this year under the major league drug program. Noelvi Marté , a 22-year-old infielder who is the Cincinnati Reds’ top prospect, missed the first 80 games following a positive test for boldenone. Toronto Blue Jays infielder Orelvis Martínez was suspended for 80 games on June 23 following a positive test for the performance-enhancing drug clomiphene, an announcement made two days after his major league debut .

Gretchen McKay | (TNS) Pittsburgh Post-Gazette PITTSBURGH — Many Americans consider social media a scourge, but for a home cook, it can be a fun and informative place to get help deciding what to eat. Sure, some of the recipes would-be influencers recommend are in fact pretty abominable — check out @chefreactions on TikTok, Instagram or X for many, many examples — but I have stumbled across some pretty good recipes on many occasions, too.

There are probably as many recipes for Marry Me chicken on social media as there are cooks. (Delish claims to have created the video recipe for the original dish, also known as Tuscan chicken, in 2016.) But in my opinion, the best variations hang their chef’s hat on a sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and cream. Yum! This rich and luxurious entree is a definite step above the “engagement” chicken that caused a similar stir when it made its debut in Glamour magazine in 2004. That proposal-worthy recipe — saved for posterity in the 2011 cookbook “100 Recipes Every Woman Should Know: Engagement Chicken and 99 Other Fabulous Dishes to Get You Everything You Want in Life” — featured a whole chicken roasted with lemon and herbs. Awesome for sure, but not nearly as swoon worthy. I’ve been married for a very long time, so I’m not looking for a dish that will get me engaged. But who wouldn’t want applause when they put dinner on the table? That’s how Delish’s original recipe made it into the latest installment of “Dinner for Four for $25.” Usually when I’m building these economical meals, I do all my shopping in one store. This time, I shopped over the course of a weekend at some of my favorite haunts to see if that made a difference. (And no, I didn’t factor in the cost of gas, but maybe should have!) First stop after downing my Saturday morning latte and Nutella mele at a street-side table at Colangelo’s in the Strip District: Wholey’s Market, where I found boneless chicken breast at the bargain price of $3.89 per pound. I then crossed the street and headed down the block to Pennsylvania Macaroni Co., where I found several varieties of sun-dried tomatoes to chose from. I went with a jar of Ponti sun-dried cherry tomatoes for $5.09 — a definite splurge when your budget is only $25, but an ingredient I knew would deliver plenty of flavor. At Aldi, I found a bag of five huge lemons for $3.89, or 78 cents apiece, and a nice package of fresh broccoli for $2.28. A bargain, considering I would only use about two-thirds of it. The German supermarket chain known for its low prices and no-frills shopping experience (you have to deposit a quarter to get a shopping cart) also had butter — a main ingredient in my sandwich cookie dessert — on sale for $3.99 a pound. A bag of powdered sugar was pretty cheap, too, at just $2.09 for a two-pound bag. “Shopping” my pantry for ingredients I always have on hand, including garlic, olive oil, spices, rice, molasses and vanilla, once again helped keep costs down. Total bill: $24.38, or 62 cents under budget. Not bad when you consider the homemade dessert recipe makes more oatmeal sandwich cookies than a family can/should eat at one sitting. PG tested Sun-dried tomatoes could be considered a splurge item because even a tiny jar is expensive, but their concentrated, sweet and tangy tomato goodness add so much flavor to a dish! They are certainly the star of this chicken dish that has been making the rounds on social media platforms. Some say the entree is so good, you’ll get a marriage proposal out of it. At any rate, the Parmesan cream sauce that gets spooned on top of the chicken and rice will certainly make your diners swoon. This original recipe from Delish.com is a pretty easy dish to get on the table in quick fashion. Just remember to use a dry pot holder to take the pan out of the oven because it will be very hot; I very stupidly used a damp dish towel and now have another cooking scar. 4 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 1 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 3/4 cup chicken broth 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan Fresh basil, torn, for serving, optional Cooked rice, for serving Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate. In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in garlic, thyme and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake chicken until cooked through and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, 10-12 minutes. Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil, if using, and serve with cooked rice. Serves 4. — delish.com PG tested Broccoli is a reliable veggie when you need a little something extra to round out a meal and don’t want to spend a fortune. Here, it’s blanched until crisp-tender and then tossed with lemon juice and zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes. I used lemon olive oil (already on hand) for an extra burst of citrus flavor. 1 large bunch broccoli, separated into florets 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter 1 clove garlic, minced Juice and zest of 1/2 lemon 1 pinch (or two) red pepper flakes Flaky salt and freshly ground ground black pepper, to taste Place broccolini in a large skillet with about 2 inches of water; bring to a boil and cook until bright green, 1-2 minutes. Drain. Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until golden and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add broccoli; cook and stir until heated through, 2-3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice and zest over broccoli and season with red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Serves 4. — Gretchen McKay, Post-Gazette PG tested Remember how if you were lucky when you were a kid you got an individually wrapped Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie in your lunchbox? These soft and chewy oatmeal cookies sandwiched with vanilla buttercream taste exactly the same. Actually, they’re better because they’re not made with corn syrup and artificial flavorings, but rather real butter and brown sugar. It’s important to let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack. Otherwise they will fall apart. The icing is very sweet, so you might want to reduce the amount of powdered sugar. For cookies 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1 tablespoon molasses 1 large egg, room temperature 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats 3/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt For filling 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature 3 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons heavy cream 2 teaspoons vanilla Pinch of salt Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line two sheet pans with parchment paper. In stand mixer outfitted with whisk attachment add butter, brown sugar and molasses and beat on low speed until combined. Gradually increase speed to medium-high and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides and bottom of bowl with spatula, then add egg and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until combined. Add flour, oats, baking soda and salt and beat on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Use a 1/2 -ounce cookie scoop tor tablespoon measure to portion out equal amounts of dough. Roll the dough in your hands to smooth the edges, then place 2 inches apart on prepared pans. Bake until cookies have puffed up and are set and firm around the edges but still somewhat soft in the middle, 9-11 minutes. Remove sheet pans from oven and allow cookies to rest on the pans for 5 minutes, then use a metal spatula to transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once cookies have cooled, make filling. In stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter, confectioners’ sugar, cream, vanilla and salt. Beat on low speed, gradually increasing the speed to high, until creamy and fully incorporated, about 45 seconds. If filling is dry, add a small splash or two of cream. Assemble cookies. Using a small offset spatula or butter knife to spread about 2 tablespoons of filling onto the bottom side of one cookie, then place second cookie on top to sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and serve. Makes 16 sandwich cookies. —”Sweet Tooth” by Sarah Fennel (Clarkson Potter, $35) ©2024 PG Publishing Co. Visit at post-gazette.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.But what if, as many economists expect, interest rates remain elevated, well above their pre-pandemic lows? Trump could point a finger at the Federal Reserve, and in particular at its chair, Jerome Powell, whom Trump himself nominated to lead the Fed. During his first term, Trump repeatedly and publicly ridiculed the Powell Fed, complaining it kept interest rates too high. Trump’s attacks on the Fed raised widespread concern about political interference in the Fed’s policymaking. Powell, for his part, emphasized the importance of the Fed’s independence: “That gives us the ability to make decisions for the benefit of all Americans at all times, not for any particular political party or political outcome.” Political clashes might be inevitable in the next four years. Trump’s proposals to cut taxes and impose steep and widespread tariffs are a recipe for high inflation in an economy operating at close to full capacity. And if inflation were to reaccelerate, the Fed would need to keep interest rates high. Why is there so much concern that Trump will fight Powell? Because Powell won’t necessarily cut rates as much as Trump will want. And even if Powell reduces the Fed’s benchmark rate, Trump’s own policies could keep other borrowing costs — such as mortgage rates — elevated. The sharply higher tariffs that Trump vowed to impose could worsen inflation. And if tax cuts on things like tips and overtime pay — another Trump promise — quickened economic growth, that, too, could fan inflationary pressures. The Fed would likely respond by slowing or stopping its rate cuts, thereby thwarting Trump’s promises of lower borrowing rates. The central bank might even raise rates if inflation worsens. “The risk of conflict between the Trump administration and the Fed is very high,” Olivier Blanchard, former top economist at the International Monetary Fund, said recently. If the Fed increases rates, “it will stand in the way of what the Trump administration wants.” But isn’t the Federal Reserve cutting rates? Yes, but with the economy sturdier than expected, the Fed’s policymakers may cut rates only a few more times — fewer than anticipated just a month or two ago. And those rate cuts might not reduce borrowing costs for consumers and businesses very much. The Fed’s key short-term rate can influence rates for credit cards, small businesses and some other loans. But it has no direct control over longer-term interest rates. These include the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which affects mortgage rates. The 10-year Treasury yield is shaped by investors’ expectations of future inflation, economic growth and interest rates as well as by supply and demand for Treasuries. An example occurred this year. The 10-year yield fell in late summer in anticipation of a Fed rate cut. Yet once the first rate cut occurred Sept. 18, longer-term rates didn’t fall. Instead, they began to rise again, partly in anticipation of faster economic growth. Trump also proposed a variety of tax cuts that could swell the deficit. Rates on Treasury securities might then have to be increased to attract enough investors to buy the new debt. “I honestly don’t think the Fed has a lot of control over the 10-year rate, which is probably the most important for mortgages,” said Kent Smetters, an economist and faculty director at the Penn Wharton Budget Model. “Deficits are going to play a much bigger role in that regard.” OK, so Trump fights with Powell — so what? Occasional or rare criticism of the Fed chair isn’t necessarily a problem for the economy, so long as the central bank continues to set policy as it sees fit. But persistent attacks would tend to undermine the Fed’s political independence, which is critically important to keeping inflation in check. To fight inflation, a central bank often must take steps that can be highly unpopular, notably by raising interest rates to slow borrowing and spending. Political leaders typically want central banks to do the opposite: keep rates low to support the economy and the job market, especially before an election. Research has found that countries with independent central banks generally enjoy lower inflation. Even if Trump doesn’t technically force the Fed to do anything, his persistent criticism could still cause problems. If markets, economists and business leaders no longer think the Fed is operating independently and instead is being pushed around by the president, they’ll lose confidence in the Fed’s ability to control inflation. Once consumers and businesses anticipate higher inflation, they usually act in ways that fuel higher prices — accelerating their purchases, for example, before prices increase further, or raising their own prices if they expect their expenses to increase. “The markets need to feel confident that the Fed is responding to the data, not to political pressure,” said Scott Alvarez, a former general counsel at the Fed. Could Trump just fire Powell? He can try, but it would likely lead to a prolonged legal battle that could even end up at the Supreme Court. At a November news conference, Powell made clear that he believes the president doesn’t have legal authority to do so. Most experts think Powell would prevail in the courts. And from the Trump administration’s perspective, such a fight might not be worth it. Powell’s term ends in May 2026, when the White House could nominate a new chair. It is also likely the stock market would tumble if Trump attempted such a brazen move. Bond yields would probably increase, too, sending mortgage rates and other borrowing costs up. Financial markets might also react negatively if Trump is seen as appointing a loyalist as Fed chair to replace Powell in 2026. Haven’t previous presidents criticized the Federal Reserve? Yes, and in the most egregious cases, it led to stubbornly high inflation. Notably, President Richard Nixon pressured Fed Chair Arthur Burns to reduce interest rates in 1971, which the Fed did, as Nixon sought reelection the next year. Economists blame Burns’ failure to keep rates sufficiently high for contributing to the entrenched inflation of the 1970s and early 1980s. Thomas Drechsel, an economist at the University of Maryland, said that when presidents intrude on the Fed’s interest rate decisions, “it increases prices quite consistently and it increases expectations, and ... that worries me because that means inflation might become quite entrenched.” Since the mid-1980s, with the exception of Trump in his first term, presidents have scrupulously refrained from public criticism of the Fed. “It’s amazing, how little manipulation for partisan ends we have seen of that policymaking apparatus,” said Peter Conti- Brown, a professor of financial regulation at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. “It really is a triumph of American governance.”
