With the news that former top Federal Reserve staffer Nellie Laing has withdrawn her candidacy for a seat on the central bank’s board of governors, the big question is whether President Donald Trump uses the vacancy to try to appoint a dove to the central bank’s board.

After all, Trump has railed for months against Fed Chairman Jerome Powell for raising interest-rates. Trump’s ire has not been tempered by the fact that he has appointed four out of the five current Fed governors. There are two vacancies on the board.

Political analysts said it will be hard and politically impractical for Trump to try to push forward an easy-money candidate for the central bank.

That’s because most of doves are left-of-center politically, worried more about unemployment than higher inflation. That’s not ordinarily the type of candidate who would be embraced by Senate Republicans, who have a majority on the Banking Committee.

“A left-leaning dove is not the typecast of a nominee that Senate Republicans would confirm,” said Sarah Binder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington.

Senate Republicans have made clear they want a candidate that is pro-deregulation of the banking industry.

Finding a candidate who favors easy money and easy rules for banks “is going to be a problem,” said Chris Low, chief economist at FTN Financial.

“Most economists typically associated with Republicans are highly skeptical of an accommodative Fed,” he said.

Low said that a candidate with libertarian leanings might be the answer, but other analysts said this would be an anathema for many Senate Republicans. Libertarians have been know to want to “end the Fed.”

Eric Winograd, senior U.S. economist at Alliance Bernstein, said a confirmation hearing for a libertarian candidate would be a circus that would harm Trump politically. And the selection would get unanimous opposition from Democrats and alienate moderate Republicans, he said.

Ian Katz, a partner at Capital Alpha Partners, said the politics of the Fed nomination process “is somewhere between meaningless and all mixed up.”

As a result, the administration might cut its losses and just stick with the five existing governors.

Many analysts agreed with the “do nothing” scenario.

Holding off from new nominations “wouldn’t surprise me given the Trump view that everything runs through Powell,” she said.

Winograd said he doesn’t think it “matters one bit” who Trump selects.

“The new governor, even if they had a different viewpoint, would not be influential or cause the Fed to change course,” Winograd said.

“Powell is in charge. If Trump put people on the Fed to cause Powell difficulty, it would be the new selections that are going to be isolated,” he said.

The White House is facing a decision on what to do about its other Trump candidate for the Fed board: Marvin Goodfriend of Carnegie Mellon University.

Unlike Laing, Goodfriend did not withdraw his nomination in the face of Senate inaction.

Goodfriend’s nomination was approved by the banking committee last year but the full Senate never acted on it.

It is unclear whether Goodfriend will be renominated.

With more Republicans in the new session of Congress, Goodfriend might have the votes needed to win a seat.

Analysts said they were unsure what the White House would decide on Goodfriend.

“It’s possible they could renominate him. It’s also possible they could throw in the towel,” said Binder.

“If Trump is looking for a reliable person not to be in favor of hiking rates, that is not exactly the profile of Goodfriend,” she said.
