  "agentA": "The market question asks if Trump will nominate Jerome Powell as the next Fed chair. The answer is a resounding 'No'. The news summary clearly states: 'No, Donald Trump will not nominate Jerome Powell for a subsequent term as Federal Reserve Chair.' This isn't speculation; it's a definitive presidential announcement made on January 30, 2026. President Trump explicitly announced his intention to nominate former Federal Reserve official Kevin Warsh to lead the central bank once Powell's term concludes in May. This direct declaration, made months before Powell's term ends, is a clear and final statement of intent. The summary even highlights that this decision 'marks a reversal' from a December 2024 statement where Trump had indicated he *would not replace* Powell (implying he would keep him). This past reversal actually strengthens our case, showing Trump has now definitively moved *away* from retaining Powell.",
  "agentB": "While the January 30, 2026 announcement is very strong, we must consider the full context, particularly Trump's demonstrated history of reversing his own positions. The news summary explicitly points out that this decision 'marks a reversal from a statement made in a December 2024 interview where the then-President-elect indicated he would not replace Powell.' This shows that President Trump previously held a different stance on Powell's future and then changed his mind. Given this established pattern of fluidity in his decision-making, especially on key appointments, it's not entirely inconceivable that he could reverse his 'intention to nominate' Warsh once more before Powell's term officially concludes in May and a formal nomination is submitted. An 'intention' is strong, but until the papers are formally filed and confirmed, there's always a slim possibility for another shift.",
  "consensus": "The overwhelming evidence, based on the provided news summary, indicates that Donald Trump will **not** nominate Jerome Powell for a subsequent term as Federal Reserve Chair. The explicit announcement on January 30, 2026, of President Trump's intention to nominate Kevin Warsh directly addresses and contradicts the market question.",
  "uncertainties": [
    "**Possibility of Another Reversal:** The primary uncertainty stems from President Trump's demonstrated history of changing his mind, as evidenced by his reversal from the December 2024 statement where he indicated he would keep Powell. While highly unlikely given the recent and specific announcement, a theoretical possibility of another change of mind before the formal nomination remains.",
    "**Finality of 'Intention':** The announcement is an 'intention to nominate.' While this is a very strong signal from the President, it is not the absolute final, formal nomination which must then go through a confirmation process. This distinction leaves a minuscule window for unforeseen developments."

  "agentA": "The news summary provides overwhelming and explicit evidence that Donald Trump *has* made numerous nominations to federal posts during both 2025 and 2026. It details his Cabinet and Cabinet-level nominees being confirmed by September 19, 2025, and active nominations for federal judges and ambassadorial posts spanning from May to October 2025. Sources supporting this information are dated up to January 8, 2026. Given these documented actions, it is a factual certainty that Trump has already nominated individuals well 'before 2027'. Therefore, the market outcome 'No' (meaning he will *not* nominate no one, because he *has* nominated someone) is the only logical and strongly supported conclusion.",
  "agentB": "While the summary undeniably confirms that nominations have occurred in 2025 and through parts of 2026, thereby making a literal 'nominate no one' interpretation problematic, the market question's future tense 'Will Trump nominate no one...' could be interpreted with a subtle nuance. The summary details an initial flurry of appointments, such as Cabinet confirmations by September 2025 and judicial/ambassadorial nominations through October 2025. It does not explicitly state that nominations continued *uninterrupted* or that new vacancies arose throughout *all* of 2026. One could, theoretically, argue for 'Yes' by positing that after this initial wave, all critical posts were filled, leading to a potential cessation of *new* nominations in the *remaining* months before 2027. If the market implicitly focuses on the absence of *further* nominations from a certain point onwards in 2026, then the 'Yes' outcome, however unlikely given the broad phrasing, is not absolutely impossible to construct from a highly specific, incomplete-information perspective.",
  "consensus": "The provided news summary offers conclusive evidence that Donald Trump has already made numerous nominations in 2025 and 2026. This directly refutes the premise that he 'will nominate no one before 2027'. Therefore, the leading outcome 'No' (meaning it is NOT true that he will nominate no one) is overwhelmingly supported by the factual information.",
  "uncertainties": [
    "Potential misinterpretation of the market question's phrasing ('nominate no one before 2027') to exclude past actions or to imply a cessation of nominations in the latter part of 2026.",
    "The possibility, however remote and unsupported by the text, that the summary is not exhaustive regarding all potential types or timings of nominations, thus leaving an infinitesimal gap for the 'Yes' outcome."

  "agentA": {
    "argument": "The evidence overwhelmingly points to 'No'. The news summary explicitly states that 'Donald Trump does not plan to nominate Stephen Miran as the next Federal Reserve chair.' Furthermore, on February 3, 2026, Trump reportedly 'announced his intention to nominate former Fed governor Kevin Warsh to succeed Jerome Powell as the head of the central bank.' This directly names another individual as Trump's preferred choice. Miran's own actions corroborate this, as he resigned from his post as chair of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers specifically 'to continue his role as a Federal Reserve governor,' indicating his focus is on maintaining his current position, not being elevated to chair. His term as governor may have expired, but he can serve until a successor is confirmed, which is distinct from being promoted to the top role."
  },
  "agentB": {
    "argument": "While the reports indicate a lean towards Warsh, the market question is about whether Trump 'will nominate' Miran, not whether he has a current 'intention' to nominate Warsh. Trump previously appointed Miran to the Fed's board of governors, demonstrating a past trust and relationship. Miran's resignation from a White House role to focus on his Fed governorship could be interpreted as a strategic move to distance himself from overt political alignment, thereby making him a more acceptable, independent candidate for the Fed Chair post if Trump's initial plans for Warsh falter. Plans and 'intentions' in politics are fluid and can change rapidly due to unforeseen circumstances, confirmation hurdles for Warsh, or a shift in Trump's preferences. The news about Warsh is an 'intention,' not a finalized nomination, leaving a window open for Miran, a known Trump ally, especially given his continued presence as a governor."
  },
  "consensus": "Based on the provided news summary, the most likely outcome is that Trump will NOT nominate Stephen Miran as the next Fed chair. The summary directly states Trump does not plan to nominate Miran and has instead announced his intention to nominate Kevin Warsh. Miran's own actions of resigning from a White House role to continue as a Fed governor further support this. However, the political landscape is dynamic, and stated intentions are not always final nominations.",
  "uncertainties": [
    "Whether Trump's stated 'intention to nominate' Kevin Warsh is a definitive, irreversible decision or if plans could change.",
    "Potential confirmation difficulties or political pushback for Kevin Warsh that could lead Trump to reconsider his choice.",
    "Any future statements or actions from Trump himself that would contradict the current reports regarding his nominee preferences.",
    "The implications of Miran's term as governor having officially expired, even if he can serve until a successor is confirmed – this could create an opportunity for a new appointment (either Miran as chair, or someone else entirely)."
