3 prediction markets price this story:

• At least 7 days — the market puts it at 92%, 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.
• Trump (3+ times) — the market puts it at 80%, closing 1 Feb 2027. The outcome is Yes if the White House Press Secretary mentions Trump three or more times during the next official press briefing. 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.
• Before Oct 23, 2026 — resolved “No” on 23 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump announces a permanent White House Press Secretary before October 23, 2026. The announcement must name a specific individual and exclude any acting or interim officials. Readers often mistake temporary appointments for valid resolutions.
