Kevin Warsh confirmed as Fed Chair by May 1?

“With only two weeks left until the deadline, and no significant news or momentum suggesting imminent confirmation, the likelihood of Kevin Warsh being confirmed by May 1 is low.”

“Kevin Warsh is not currently a leading candidate for Fed Chair, and confirmation by May 1 would require rapid nomination and Senate approval in just two weeks, which is highly unlikely given typical confirmation timelines.”

“As of April 2026, Powell's term runs until Feb 2026. Even if Warsh was nominated, Senate confirmation by May 1 is tight. No strong evidence of completed confirmation yet, and political delays are common.”
