Will fewer than 49 senators vote to confirm Kash Patel as FBI Director?

This market will resolve according to the number of YEA votes Kash Patel receives, in the first roll-call vote on confirmation as Director of the FBI. If another individual is confirmed as Director of the FBI for President Donald Trump, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket (<49). If Kash Patel is appointed through a recess appointment, or is otherwise officially made the Director of the FBI without a Senate vote, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket (<49). If no vote occurs before December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket (<49). Votes cast by the Vice President, if any, will not be considered for this market. The resolution source for this market will be the official vote count published on the U.S. Senate website, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
