3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Next White House Press Secretary announced by November 30, 2026? — the market puts it at 43%, with $104k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump or his administration officially announces a new White House Press Secretary to replace Katie Zacharia by 11:59 PM ET on November 30, 2026. The announcement must name a permanent successor; acting or interim press secretaries do not count toward this outcome.
  • Will Anna Kelly be the next White House Press Secretary? — the market puts it at 16%, with $24k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. Yes resolves if the White House or Donald Trump officially announces Anna Kelly as the permanent Press Secretary who replaces Katie Zacharia by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. No resolves if someone else is announced in that role by the deadline, if the position is abolished, or if no replacement is named.
  • At least 7 days — the market puts it at 89%, with $200 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 21 Jan 2029. The market resolves to Yes if the next White House Press Secretary serves for at least seven days before leaving the role or having their departure announced. It resolves to No if they serve fewer than seven days. Readers often mistake the date of the announcement for the end of the service period, but the clock stops when the departure is announced, not when it takes effect.

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.
