[Federal Reserve Board May See Trump-Leaning or Tie Scenario] The Federal Reserve Board has a full capacity of seven members, currently including Powell, two Biden-appointed governors Jefferson and Barr, and two Trump-appointed governors Waller and Bowman.

Cook's absence could potentially result in a tie within the board.
