The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry is set to vote on the nomination of Brian Quintenz to chair of the Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC) — the body that regulates prediction markets like Kalshi — on Monday.
Per an announcement on the committee site, the vote will take place July 21, in conjunction with a 5:30 p.m. floor vote on cloture for the nomination of a new DEA administrator. Committee meetings held in conjunction with a floor vote usually start just before the vote, pause for senators to get to the floor and then resume shortly after voting is complete.
Three other nominations to other bodies will also be considered during the meeting, with Quintenz listed last, suggesting his nomination may occur after the floor vote.
