2 prediction markets price this story:

  • Donald Trump — the market puts it at 8%, with $72 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump becomes the first official named in this event to be impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives between now and January 1, 2028. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the deadline for the end of his term rather than the fixed date of January 1, 2028.
  • Trump declares election interference national emergency by December 31? — the market puts it at 2%, with $7k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. For the market to resolve to Yes, President Trump must formally declare a national emergency under the National Emergencies Act by December 31, 2026, explicitly citing election interference as the basis. The declaration must appear in the Federal Register or official White House publications and contain specific legal language establishing the emergency.

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.
