Mr. Hassett’s evolution from conservative economist to defender of the president’s economic agenda has raised questions about how he would lead the central bank.
Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, once promoted the idea that free trade was the path to national prosperity and argued that more immigration was good for the economy.
The president has backed policies that allow the industry to grow unfettered. The mutually beneficial alliance is causing concern among some conservatives.
