The market resolves to Yes if Katie Zacharia leads a scheduled White House press briefing between now and December 31, 2026, while holding the title of Press Secretary.

  • Katie Zacharia — the market puts it at 18%, with $287 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. The outcome is Yes if Katie Zacharia holds any administration role other than White House Press Secretary for President Trump before November 1, 2026.
