Is the Federal Reserve trying to cause a recession before the Nov. 2020 presidential election?

On May 23, the federal funds rate, the benchmark interest rate set by the Federal Reserve, dipped below the 10-year Treasury interest rate and has stayed there since. There were also brief inversions on March 28 and May 15, but they immediately came back into positive territory. Unlike other inverted interest rates, which often foretell a recession in not so distant future, this is one the central bank actually has control over since it sets its own rate. Is the Fed trying to time the next recession before the next presidential election?
