The high-stakes search for a new leader of the US central bank is drawing to a close.
US President Donald Trump is expected to name someone in the coming weeks to replace Jerome Powell, whose term as Federal Reserve chairman will end in May.
That person will step into the role at a tricky moment.
The bank is contending with both political pressure and internal disagreement about how it should set interest rates in the months ahead.
Credibility concerns could make the job even harder. Trump has made clear he wants lower borrowing costs and put unusual pressure on the Fed, raising questions about whether whoever wins the post will act independently.
Trump's nominee would then go to the Senate for confirmation. Here's what to know about the frontrunners.
A Trump loyalist, Hassett, 63, served as chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers during Trump's first term and now leads the National Economic Council.
His odds of clinching the role have dropped since early December, but Wall Street traders still deem him the most likely choice.
Hassett has been a stalwart defender of Trump's economic policies, downplaying data showing signs of weakness in the US economy and repeating allegations of bias at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
His allegiance to the president has drawn questions from analysts about whether he would act independently at the Fed and how much sway he would have with other members of the board.
In a research note, Deutsche Bank economists wrote that Hassett might struggle, at least initially, to convince other policymakers to put aside concerns about inflation and cut rates meaningfully.
"Other officials might be sceptical of forward-looking arguments that rely heavily on the administration's policies bringing inflation closer to target," they wrote.
Even some within the Trump administration have reportedly questioned whether Hassett has the skills needed to effectively take the helm of the central bank.
Hassett addressed those questions in a CNBC interview this month, saying that the Fed's independence was "really, really important", while reiterating that interest rates still had room to fall.
"The way you've got to drive interest-rate movements is with consensus based on the facts and the data," he said.
