The market resolves to Yes if Justice Samuel Alito resigns or announces his intent to resign from the Supreme Court before January 20, 2029.

- Will Samuel Alito announce his retirement by December 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 4%, with $992 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. For the Yes outcome, Samuel Alito must make an official announcement that he will retire by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. The retirement can take effect immediately or at any future date.
