One prediction market prices this story:

Will Marco Rubio be the leader of Venezuela end of 2026? — the market puts it at 0%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Marco Rubio officially holds the position of Venezuela's head of state on December 31, 2026, at 12 PM ET. It resolves to No if any other individual holds that role or if no one holds it. Readers often mistake a nomination or appointment for actual leadership, but only confirmed, sworn-in officials count.

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.
