According to CoinMeta, Walsh stated that there was a "consensus" within the Federal Reserve, despite a "debate." Federal Reserve Chairman Walsh said that policymakers engaged in a "healthy internal debate," and although there were differences in voting results, there was also a lot of "consensus" among the officials. He pointed out, "I heard widespread agreement that we have the authority, tools, and statutory mandate necessary to achieve price stability." Walsh said at a press conference after the resolution was announced, "There were indeed disagreements on today's decision. But I believe that does not fully capture the essence of the discussion." He further emphasized, "After the meeting, I am even more convinced that this team is fully capable of winning the battle against high inflation."
