Former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh has seen his chances of becoming the next Federal Reserve Chairman surge. On the prediction market Polymarket, Warsh's probability of being nominated as Federal Reserve Chairman by Trump rose from 7% to 38%, while the nomination probability for National Economic Council Director Kevin Hasset dropped from a high of 85% to 52%. On the prediction market Kalshi, Warsh's nomination probability increased from 10% to 41%, while Hasset's nomination probability fell from a high of 81% to 51%.
When asked this Friday afternoon whether Warsh is at the top of the list for Federal Reserve Chair nominees, Trump stated, "Yes, I think he is, I think both Kevins are great." Trump then added, "And I think there are several other excellent candidates as well." JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon previously supported Warsh for the next Federal Reserve Chairman, calling him a "great chairman." #美联储主席
