Donald Trump Sends Fed Chair Candidate ‘Kevin’ Surging To 59% On Polymarket — But Which One?

President Donald Trump cast doubt on Kevin Hassett’s Fed Chair bid Friday, saying he may keep him in his current position.

Trump Wants Hassett At NEC, Not Fed

Trump praised Hassett’s television appearance Friday morning and said he’s concerned about losing his communication skills if Hassett moves to the Fed.

“Kevin Hassett is so good. I’m saying, ‘Wait a minute, if I move him—these Fed guys, certainly the one we have now, they don’t talk much.’ I would lose you. It’s a serious concern to me,” Trump said at the White House event.

Trump told Hassett directly: “We don’t want to lose him, Susie, but we’ll see how it all works out,” referencing White House chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Former Fed governor Kevin Warsh, another favorite to succeed current Chair Jerome Powell has risen to 59% on Polymarket while Hassett crashed to 16%.

Current Fed governor Christopher Waller held at 14%.
