Today, Federal Reserve officials gathered for their final two-day rate-setting meeting of the year.
They won't announce their decision until tomorrow,
but they're expected to cut rates by a quarter point,
though as many as half the policymakers have signaled that they oppose a cut.
Officials have been unusually divided over whether a weaker jobs market or worsening inflation would be harder to fix
if the Fed makes the wrong choice now.
Some outside the Fed think that a quarter-point rate cut doesn't go far enough,
including President Trump.
Another of those people is Kevin Hassett, the director of the White House National Economic Council,
who was widely believed to be Trump's pick to take over as Fed chair next year.
