What counts

The outcome is Yes if Pete Hegseth stops being Secretary of Defense at any point before December 31. An announcement of his resignation or removal before that date triggers an immediate Yes resolution, even if the change happens later. Readers often mistake the announcement deadline for the actual effective date of his departure.

Written from Polymarket's resolution rules by the same model that writes our headlines. The rules on Polymarket are what decides it.
