Summary
Squawk Box’s Joe Kernen and Becky Quick are in Washington, D.C., where President Trump will swear in Kevin Warsh as the Federal Reserve’s next chair. The two are joined by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-KY) to discuss his congressional probe into insider trading on Kalshi and Polymarket. Then, House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark (D-MA) shares her thoughts on the Democratic agenda ahead of the November midterm elections, the DNC’s 2024 election autopsy, and the affordability crisis.
