This market tracks whether Donald Trump will cease to be the President of the United States by August 31, 2026. The aggregated consensus probability for Trump remaining as President is 99.0%, with Polymarket and Kalshi as the aggregated platforms. The resolution source is a consensus of credible reporting. Watch for developments around the market's end date on August 31, 2026, which will determine the final outcome.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump resigns or is removed as President or otherwise ceases to be the President of the United States for any period of time by August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Donald Trump's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. Only permanent removal from office will qualify. Temporary removal (e.g. temporary invocation of the 25th Amendment under Section 3 or a Section 4 invocation not sustained by both Houses of Congress) or impeachment without removal will not count. A sustained invocation of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment, Section 4 (i.e., if both Houses of Congress, by two-thirds vote, uphold the Vice President and Cabinet’s determination of presidential inability) will qualify for a "Yes" resolution. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
If any member of Congress resigns or is expelled as any member of Congress in Aug 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.
Prediction market odds on this market often diverge from traditional polling averages because they incorporate betting behavior, sentiment, and financial incentives. While polls may show public opinion snapshots, market prices reflect what people are willing to pay to bet on outcomes. Currently, the implied probability from trading suggests a relatively high chance of an early end, which may or may not align with recent polling trends. Market prices can react faster to breaking news and shifting perceptions.
On Polymarket and Kalshi, prices can vary due to differences in user bases, liquidity, and market design. Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. For example, one platform may attract more politically engaged traders, while another could have broader participation. This can create price gaps, especially when Polymarket currently favors Trump out as President by August 31? at 0.4%, while Kalshi leans toward Will any member of Congress be out as any member of Congress in Aug 2026? at 1.0%. The 0.6 point difference often reflects these varied dynamics.
This market resolves around Sep 8, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The settlement will depend on whether any confirmed events — such as resignation, removal, or other terminations — occur before the August 31 deadline. Once the facts are publicly established, the market will close and payouts will be processed based on the final, objective determination.
Several signals could shift probabilities before this market settles. Major news — including impeachment votes, health emergencies, or political scandals — might cause rapid price changes. Additionally, polling shifts, cabinet changes, or public pressure could influence trader sentiment. Economic developments or international incidents that affect political stability may also impact expectations. As we approach Sep 8, 2026, any credible indication of an early departure will likely cause significant movement.
