The outcome is No if he does not reach that count in that specific event. Readers often mistake informal gaggles for official briefings, but only the scheduled briefing counts.
• Will Anna Kelly be the next White House Press Secretary? — the market puts it at 14%, with $13k 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.
