They're both "clearly qualified."
Decision could be announced "in the next several days or couple of weeks."

Sherron Brown won't reveal his preference except to say he does have one and has shared it with Biden.
"I don't have a read on what they're going to do. They have put a lot of thought into this. They've put a lot of thought into the other openings."

Brown says "they may do one or two" other Fed appointments "with the chair. It's not clear."
On confirmation, Brown said he hopes to do the "first hearing in December."
"If we can move quickly we will."
Then he adds, "I may have misspoken here. I don't think it's essential that we do because the term's not up 'til February. So we're not going to rush anything here."
