President-elect Trump's reported preference for Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair, based on discussions with advisers and transition team sources, has driven overwhelming trader consensus at 95.4% implied probability on Polymarket. Warsh, a former Fed governor under George W. Bush with experience in monetary policy and ties to Republican economic circles, emerged as the frontrunner following recent media reports highlighting his alignment with Trump's inflation-fighting priorities over incumbent Jerome Powell's reappointment. With a Republican Senate majority post-2025 inauguration, confirmation appears straightforward via simple majority vote, though procedural holds or bipartisan opposition could arise if Warsh's past hawkish stances draw scrutiny during hearings. Late-breaking shifts, such as alternative nominations like Judy Shelton or Michelle Bowman, remain low-probability catalysts.

Formal confirmation as Chair of the Federal Reserve requires the Senate to confirm a nominee as Chair of the Federal Reserve. Recess appointments without Senate confirmation will not count. Senate confirmation of a listed individual as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors will not alone qualify.
If no Senate confirmation for the position of Chair of the Federal Reserve has occurred by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other".
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.
