The confirmation hearing for three Biden nominees to the Fed will be a high-stakes and potentially tense affair. If one were to falter, it would undermine Biden's push to remake the Fed to be more concerned about climate change and racial equality.

Republican senators are likely to aggressively question one nominee, Sarah Bloom Raskin, about her views on bank regulation and climate change, and another, Lisa Cook, about her qualifications.It's not coming from the banking industry, with which she had constructive relationships in previous roles at the Fed and the Obama administration's Treasury Department.
They argue she wouldn't merely monitor climate-related risk on bank balance sheets in shaping regulation but actively try to prevent financial institutions from lending to those industries.A handful of conservative economists have argued she's underqualified to be a Fed governor because her academic research is mostly not focused on monetary economics.
