President Trump's formal nomination of former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair on March 4 remains stalled in the Senate Banking Committee, primarily due to a hold by Republican Sen. Thom Tillis, who supports Warsh but insists the DOJ drop its criminal investigation into incumbent Chair Jerome Powell over a $2.5 billion Fed headquarters renovation before advancing. Powell, whose term ends May 15, has affirmed he will stay until a successor is confirmed, while recent Iran conflict escalation drives inflation concerns via higher oil prices, challenging Warsh's anticipated rate-cut stance. A confirmation hearing is set for mid-April, with committee progress hinging on resolving the Powell probe and any Democratic scrutiny, such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren's questions on Warsh's past associations.

If Kevin Warsh is formally nominated for the role, and his nomination is then formally withdrawn, or if the Senate rejects the nomination, this market will immediately resolve to “No”.
The Senate must confirm this nominee as Chair of the Federal Reserve for this market to resolve to "Yes". Recess appointments without Senate confirmation will not count toward a "Yes" resolution. Senate confirmation of Warsh as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors will not alone qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market is official information from the U.S. Senate; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
