- 00:11Walsh overtakes Hassett as the leading candidate for the next Federal Reserve ChairBlockBeats News, December 16, former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh has overtaken Hassett to become the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair. On the prediction market Polymarket, the probability of Warsh being nominated by Trump as Fed Chair has risen from 7% to 48%, while the probability for National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has dropped from a high of 85% to 42%. On the prediction market Kalshi, Warsh's nomination probability has increased from 10% to 52%, while Hassett's has decreased from a high of 81% to 39%. When Trump was asked last Friday afternoon whether Warsh was the top candidate for Fed Chair, he replied, "Yes, I think he is, I think both Kevins are great." Trump then added, "And I think there are a few other excellent candidates as well." JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon previously supported Warsh for the next Fed Chair, saying he would be a "great chairman." According to CNBC, citing sources familiar with the matter, Kevin Hassett, who was once regarded by the market as a "quasi-candidate" for Fed Chair, has recently faced doubts from senior figures who can directly influence former President Trump's decisions. The point of contention is that Hassett was initially seen as the strongest candidate to succeed current Chair Powell due to his close relationship with Trump, but now concerns are being raised for the same reason—being "too close to the president." This pressure may explain why the candidate interviews, which were canceled in early December, have been rescheduled (at least for Warsh, the interview was completed last week).
