Trump said he had decided on the Federal Reserve Chair, but did not disclose the name.

In an interview with The New York Times, US President Donald Trump said he has decided who to nominate as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, but did not reveal his choice. "I've made up my mind," he said, "but I haven't spoken to anyone yet." When asked about his chief economic advisor, Hassett, Trump said, "I don't want to say," but he called Hassett "definitely one of my favorites." Regardless of Trump's choice, the next Fed Chairman will take over an institution at a critical juncture, at the center of the president's unprecedented pressure campaign to drastically lower interest rates. The prediction market Kalshi currently rates Kevin Warsh 41% as Fed Chairman, Kevin Hassett 39%, and Christopher Waller 12%.
