One prediction market prices this story:

  • No new Director of Legislative Affairs — resolved “No” on 10 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if a new White House Director of Legislative Affairs formally holds that position before January 1, 2027. The outcome depends on whether this person is the first individual to take the role after the market's issuance date. Readers often mistake the linked news headline as the resolution trigger, but only the formal assumption of office matters.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
