Kevin Warsh

Kevin Warsh is a former governor of the Federal Reserve. He is currently newsworthy because former President Donald Trump is reportedly considering him as a potential nominee to replace Jerome Powell as the chair of the Federal Reserve. Trump has expressed a desire for greater influence over the Fed's decisions and has publicly stated that Warsh is at the top of his list. Recent articles indicate that Trump is expected to announce his pick soon, intensifying speculation and betting activity on prediction markets. While Trump has also considered keeping Kevin Hassett in the White House, Warsh remains a leading candidate. This potential nomination is significant because it reflects Trump's efforts to exert more control over the traditionally independent central bank.
