Le sénateur Tillis accepte de soutenir la nomination de Waller à la présidence de la Réserve fédérale, la probabilité de confirmation de la nomination passant à 93% avant le 15 mai

Gold Financial reports that on April 26, Senator Thom Tillis, who previously made it clear he would obstruct the confirmation of Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chair, has made a concession and is now prepared to advance the Senate confirmation process. Tillis had previously stated firmly: as long as the Department of Justice does not halt its investigation into Powell, he will not support Waller’s nomination. However, on April 24, U.S. District Attorney for Washington, D.C., John Piro, announced that the investigation into the Federal Reserve’s building costs concerning Chair Powell would be discontinued.
This concession by Thom Tillis has paved the way for Kevin Waller’s nomination as Federal Reserve Chair to be confirmed. According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of Waller being ultimately confirmed as Federal Reserve Chair on the prediction market Polymarket has increased, with the chance of confirmation before May 15 rising to 93%.
