Chicago- Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) has said he will be meeting with Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke this afternoon and plans to vote yes for his second conformation. ” The purpose of our meeting this afternoon is to say ‘Yes I am supporting you, but I expect you do some things to make this economy stronger.’”
Bernanke’s conformation may still be in doubt as several democrats came out last week and said they will be voting no for his second term. The Chairman’s current term expires January 31st. Watch Dick Durbin’s reaction here…
