Mr. Biden met each candidate separately for interviews on Nov. 4, and he was joined in the Oval Office for those meetings with only one other adviser, National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, according to people familiar with the matter.

Each meeting was scheduled for one hour, though Ms. Brainard’s ran slightly over the allotted time, one of these people said. Some people familiar with the matter said Ms. Brainard’s meeting went better than expected.

Yet another story that paints Brainard in a better light than Powell.
But the betting markets are still steadfast that Powell is 70-ish% to get renominated.
Recall I think it is
Powell 50.001%
Brainard 49.999%

Also interesting that Yellen was not part of these meetings. She knows these two better than anyone else in the administration and has come out in favor of Powell.

I've also been arguing that Powell is a bargaining chip to be traded away, IF NECESSARY, to win support for Biden's spending plans.
You can read this tweet as saying this as well.

Again, how does Biden get progressives to agree to a smaller spending plan, IF NECESSARY?
Give them Powell, he's expendable.
