Description

On September 18, 2026, President Trump announced that CNN, MS NOW, and Politico were banned from the White House. This market will resolve to "Yes" if, between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET, the ban is lifted for at least one of CNN, MS NOW, or Politico. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The ban is lifted if: (i) the President, the White House, or an authorized White House official publicly announces that the ban is lifted or will not be enforced, (ii) the United States government officially rescinds, suspends, reverses, or withdraws the ban for one or more of the specified outlets; (iii) a court or other competent authority issues an order that rescinds the ban or bars its enforcement for one or more of the specified outlets. The following do not qualify: a statement that the ban may or might be lifted, or that access may be restored if certain conditions are met; discussions or negotiations about lifting the ban; third-party speculation or reporting about a potential lifting of the ban. Once the ban has been lifted, this market will resolve to "Yes" regardless of whether the ban is subsequently reimposed, a relevant order is later stayed or reversed, or access is again withdrawn. If, on September 30, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET, a consensus of credible reporting confirms that the ban has not been enforced prior to that time, this market will resolve to “Yes”. The primary resolution sources will be official information from the White House and the affected outlets, official court records in any related litigation, and a consensus of credible reporting.

This market resolves around Nov 1, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Resolution will depend on whether official White House statements or actions demonstrate that CNN, Politico, or MSNBC have been fully reinstated with regular press access. The market will settle based on the first official confirmation of a change in White House policy regarding press access for these organizations, as reported by major news outlets and verified through publicly available information.

Several factors could significantly impact this market. Any public statements from White House officials regarding their stance on these news organizations would be a major catalyst. Changes in the political landscape, such as a shift in administration priorities or personnel, could also influence the odds. Furthermore, significant news coverage related to the relationship between the White House and these media outlets could drive trading activity. Unexpected events, like a major policy announcement or a controversial interview, could also cause substantial movement in this market.
