Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"This political battle over the Fed Chair isn't just D.C. drama; it directly impacts market stability. Uncertainty about who leads the central bank can create volatility, affecting interest rates and investor confidence. A prolonged power struggle adds unwelcome risk to economic planning."

So Powell’s sticking around until the Senate decides to play ball, which, given the current political climate, might take a while. It seems Trump's hopeful replacement is currently stuck in the legislative mud, making this less a transition and more a waiting game.
