Neel Kashkari, the 2026 FOMC voter and President of the Minneapolis Fed, has expressed strong support for Kevin Warsh as a qualified candidate for the role of Federal Reserve Chair. Despite the White House's announcement of Trump's intention to nominate Warsh, market speculation on Polymarket shows a decrease in the probability of his nomination from 99.7% to 95%. Meanwhile, the likelihood of Trump appointing Judy Shelton, known for her criticism of the Federal Reserve and advocacy for a gold standard, has increased slightly to 4-5%. However, despite these shifts, Shelton's past Senate rejection makes her an unlikely alternative should Warsh's nomination face hurdles.
