Waller, a current Fed board member, gains attention for his dissents from the Feds wait-and-see approach. Rick Rieder, a BlackRock CIO, is an outsider, despite his impressive career, due to his lower odds and less vocal criticism of the Fed. The selections implications for the economy and financial markets are significant, with investors closely monitoring the process to ensure the central banks independence.
