CORRECTED-Trump says his Fed nominee Warsh could pick up support from Democrats

U.S. President Donald ⁠Trump said he thinks Kevin Warsh, his pick to head the Federal ​Reserve, could pick up votes ‍from some Democrats in the Senate, calling him a "high-quality person" who should not have any ⁠trouble ‌winning ⁠Senate confirmation.

Trump, a Republican, told reporters aboard ‍Air Force One on Saturday that ​he expected Warsh to lower interest ⁠rates if confirmed, citing Warsh's comments in interviews ⁠and other statements. Asked if Warsh had made any commitments to ⁠do so, Trump said, "I don't want to do ⁠that. ‌I couldn't do that."
