Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell is set to visit Capitol Hill on Wednesday and will attend the Republican Study Committee’s weekly lunch, a GOP aide said Monday.
Powell will address the conservative House group’s membership on the debt limit, budget and banking issues, the staffer said.
Powell’s visit comes as the RSC aims to establish itself as a major player in the upcoming debt ceiling negotiations. The group released a debt limit “playbook” last week, including survey results that identified energy policy changes and cutting discretionary spending as the group’s top two priorities.
