Kevin Hassett, the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chairman and Director of the National Economic Council, remarked that the chairman's duty is to observe data, adjust monetary policy, and explain the basis for adjustments.

In his view, it is irresponsible for the Fed to set a six-month interest rate roadmap, emphasizing that rate adjustments should closely follow economic data.
