Trump Advisor Kevin Hassett Reportedly Leading Fed Chair Race: See What Polymarket, Kalshi Bettors Are Predicting

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has emerged as the leading candidate to become the next Federal Reserve Chair, according to a report published Tuesday.

Trump’s ‘Close Ally’ For Fed’s Top Position?

Hassett, who led the Council of Economic Advisers during Trump’s first term, is seen as the frontrunner by President Donald Trump’s allies and advisers, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Hassett is viewed as a “close ally” who would carry Trump’s “approach” for lowering interest rates at the Fed, the report said, quoting sources.

However, the nomination is reportedly not final until it is made public, as Trump is known for “surprise” policy decisions.

The White House didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.
