O senador Tillis concorda em avançar com a nomeação de Powell para presidente do Federal Reserve, com a probabilidade de confirmação da nomeação aumentando para 93% até 15 de maio

Golden Finance report, on April 26th, Senator Thom Tillis, who previously stated 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 cease its investigation into Powell, he will not support Powell’s nomination. However, on April 24th, U.S. District Attorney for Washington D.C., John Piro, announced that the investigation into the Federal Reserve’s building costs concerning Chair Powell will be halted.
This concession by Thom Tillis paves the way for Kevin Wirth’s nomination as Federal Reserve Chair to be confirmed. According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of Wirth being ultimately confirmed as Federal Reserve Chair on the prediction market Polymarket has increased, with the chance of confirmation before May 15th rising to 93%.
