This market will resolve according to the next individual formally confirmed as Chair of the Federal Reserve. 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.President Trump's formal nomination of Kevin Warsh as Federal Reserve Chair in early March, transmitted to the Senate, has solidified his position as the overwhelming trader consensus at 94.5%, reflecting Warsh's extensive prior experience as a Fed Governor from 2006-2011 and alignment with administration priorities on monetary policy amid calls for rate cuts. Recent financial disclosures revealing over $130 million in assets, coupled with pledges to divest, have advanced his candidacy through Senate Banking Committee review, with a confirmation hearing scheduled for late April ahead of Jerome Powell's May 15 term expiration. While Republican Senate control favors passage via committee markup and floor vote, potential challenges include Democratic efforts to stall proceedings, isolated GOP opposition, unresolved DOJ inquiries, or procedural delays risking an acting chair scenario.
