President Trump nominated former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve Chair on January 30, 2026, with formal paperwork sent to the Senate on March 4, positioning him to succeed Jerome Powell whose term expires May 15. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo scheduled Warsh's confirmation hearing for April 16, but it was abruptly delayed on April 9 amid a hold by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) over unresolved concerns tied to a DOJ investigation involving Powell. Traders watch for a rescheduled hearing possibly April 21, followed by committee markup and full Senate floor vote; historical patterns show Fed chairs typically confirmed within 2-3 months absent major opposition, though GOP Senate control favors advancement if hurdles clear. Powell has pledged to serve until a successor is sworn in.

If Kevin Warsh is formally nominated for the role, and his nomination is then formally withdrawn, or if the Senate rejects the nomination, this market will immediately resolve to “No”.
The Senate must confirm this nominee as Chair of the Federal Reserve for this market to resolve to "Yes". Recess appointments without Senate confirmation will not count toward a "Yes" resolution. Senate confirmation of Warsh as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors will not alone qualify.
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.
