Kevin Hassett has Fed and academic experience and has served in both Trump administrations, this time heading the National Economic Council.
While he's often seen on US television networks defending the administration's policies, he has said relatively little about how he wants to change the US central bank. Still, that has not stopped many seeing him as the favourite to succeed Jay Powell.

Betting markets? You mean Polymarket. Polymarket has Kevin Hassett as favourite.
