A final confirmation vote by the U.S. Senate on Janet Yellen to be chairman of the Federal Reserve will be delayed until Jan. 6, avoiding a weekend session to consider her nomination.
Under an agreement announced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid tonight, senators will vote to advance Yellen’s nomination tomorrow, with the confirmation vote set for when the chamber returns after a holiday break.
