Markets Say: Pompeo running in KS? Ratcliffe's Nomination in Jeopardy?
Newsworthy Moves
Mike Pompeo jumped from 2% to a mid-day high of 15% in the next-to-leave-Trump’s-Cabinet market yesterday as Politico suggested it was possible he might run in Kansas.
In the next Senate-confirmed DNI market, Mike Rogers jumped from 1% up to a midday high of 8%. John Ratcliffe is undergoing confirmation now, and while he’s still trading above 90%, the increase in Rogers shows that some traders are predicting Ratcliffe’s confirmation may fail.
