Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Claims Jerome Powell’s Firing Is Imminent

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell faces renewed speculation about his tenure after Florida Representative Anna Paulina Luna declared his firing "imminent" in a social media post. The claim, though unsupported by evidence, briefly moved markets, with Polymarket odds of Powell's ouster jumping to 27% before settling at 25%.
