Lisa Cook, a professor of economics and international relations at Michigan State University, and Philip Jefferson, a professor and administrator at Davidson College in North Carolina, are also being considered for other Fed board seats that will soon be vacant, the report added.

The White House did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Raskin, Cook and Jefferson couldn’t be reached for comment.
