Kash Patel has 26% chance of being nominated as FBI director by Trump

Kash Patel has a 26% chance of being nominated as FBI director by President-elect Donald Trump, according to betting platform Polymarket. This follows Trump's falling out with current FBI Director Christopher Wray, who he appointed in 2017. Patel, a loyal Trump supporter, has held various roles in the Trump administration. His potential nomination is controversial, with critics warning he could harm the FBI's mission and has a non-traditional background for the position. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is currently the frontrunner for the nomination, with a 54% chance. Recent events, including Trump's failed nomination of Matt Gaetz for attorney general, may influence his choice for FBI director.
