New: President Biden will nominate Jerome Powell for another term as chairman of the Federal Reserve, the White House says. Lael Brainard, who many on the left urged him to choose for chair, is Biden’s pick for vice-chair. — PolitiTweet.org

@ohlaboday @tedcruz These are Biden’s choices alone though obviously whether someone can be confirmed by the Senate is part of his calculus. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer Epstein @jeneps

Did you know that President Biden has not yet announced his nominee to chair the Federal Reserve? (Or nominees for other Fed vacancies.) And that the White House has said he’s expected to do so by Thanksgiving? Which this Thursday? November 25? — PolitiTweet.org

Deleted earlier tweets about liking the new DCA security scheme. I think I need more trips to decide if I’m a fan. — PolitiTweet.org

@momofink @Clear That was also true for the gate 35 concourse and the Delta concourse. But as I stand waiting forever for my drink, maybe it’s not so great. — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden had a physical exam today, ahead of turning 79 tomorrow. Doctor notes he walks with a stiffer gait and clears his throat more often, and investigated causes, concluding that he’s “healthy” and “fit for duty.” W/ @justinsink https://t.co/1SrEoXw7fg — PolitiTweet.org

“A combination of significant spinal arthritis, post-fracture ‘lim and compensation’ and a mild sensory peripheral neuropathy of the feet are the explanation for the subtle gait changes which I was investigating,” Biden’s physician says. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden’s “gait appears to be perceptibly stiffer and less fluid than it has been in the past,” his doctor notes. Neurological exam found “no signs of stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's or ascending lateral sclerosis” but did ID “a mild peripheral neuropathy in both feet.” https://t.co/fFUhdmOiQg — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer Epstein @jeneps

President Biden’s health assessment notes two notable changes since his last report was released in 2019, more throat clearing and a change in his gait. His physician’s letter concludes the reasons for those changes were fairly minor issues. https://t.co/5NjfauvxCV — PolitiTweet.org

"As I've said before, every American wants the same thing, they want to be able to look their turkey in the eye and tell them everything's going to be OK," Biden says. Sure the speechwriting team enjoyed making that Bidenism into a Thanksgiving joke. — PolitiTweet.org

"Turkey is infrastructure," Biden says at the White House as he prepares to pardon two turkeys. "Peanut Butter and Jelly are going to help build back the Butterball." — PolitiTweet.org

As @justinsink started talking about Biden's schedule, @presssec broke out into a grin knowing a Fed Q was coming. "The president intends to make a decision ... by process of elimination, I expect there'll be more to report early next week," she said. https://t.co/tI6BEOgDT2 — PolitiTweet.org

President Biden sent his letter transferring power to Vice President Harris at 10:10 a.m. EST and his letter resuming his duties at 11:35 a.m., the White House says. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer Epstein @jeneps

The transfer of power to Harris is the first to a woman under Section 3 of the 25th Amendment, which was ratified in 1967. But Edith Wilson took on what she called "stewardship" of the presidency after Woodrow Wilson had a stroke in 1919. https://t.co/S3aorQDdb1 — PolitiTweet.org

While President Biden is under anesthesia today for a colonoscopy, he'll temporarily transfer power to Vice President Harris who, during that time, will become the first woman in U.S. history to take on presidential power (albeit only briefly) https://t.co/S3aorQDdb1 — PolitiTweet.org
