Senate panel backs Janet Yellen to lead the Fed
The Senate Banking Committee advanced Janet Yellen’s nomination to head the Federal Reserve by a 14 to 8 vote. Only Democrat Joe Manchin opposed. Republicans Corker Coburn and Kirk supported her. The chamber also moved to a rule requiring a simple majority for most presidential nominees, easing confirmation prospects.
