Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors Kevin Warsh (94.3%) as the next confirmed Federal Reserve Chair, driven by reports of President-elect Trump's meetings with Warsh and his positioning as a top contender to succeed Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May 2026. Warsh, a former Fed governor under George W. Bush, brings monetary policy experience and has publicly advocated for tighter policy amid inflation concerns, aligning with trader views on Trump's economic priorities. Recent developments include Trump's public criticisms of Powell and signals of an early nomination push. Challenges could arise from Senate confirmation hurdles, where Republican holdouts or Democratic opposition might block Warsh, potentially elevating alternatives like Michelle Bowman if Trump pivots to a more consensus pick.

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.
