Trump hints Hassett stay, boosting Warsh's odds to chair the Fed
President Trump signaled he may keep Kevin Hassett in his current White House role, sending the Fed chair race into a new phase as Kevin Warsh’s odds jumped. Prediction markets showed Warsh favored (Kalshi around 58%, Hassett about 17%), with Polymarket echoing the tilt, and markets reacting to the Trump remarks amid broader concerns tied to Powell’s situation and Senate confirmation dynamics. Analysts say Warsh would likely be dovish like Hassett but could shift if the economy strengthens, making the outcome contingent on political timing and Senate approvals.
