- Will Trump resign by December 31, 2026?2¢2%
Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a 98.4% implied probability that Donald Trump will not resign by December 31, 2026, driven by the historical rarity of presidential resignations outside exceptional circumstances such as the Nixon precedent and the lack of any verified public statements, party pressures, or institutional signals indicating intent to step down. With the resolution window extending through the remainder of the term, standard patterns of executive continuity and the absence of recent catalysts like health disclosures or major political developments reinforce this positioning. Scenarios that could still shift odds include sudden medical events, legal outcomes creating intense congressional pressure, or abrupt changes in administration dynamics, though none are currently confirmed.
Rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if President of the United States Donald Trump announces he has resigned or will resign the presidency by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." If it becomes impossible for Donald Trump to resign or to announce his resignation (e.g., due to his removal from office by other means, etc.), this market will immediately resolve to "No." For this market to resolve to "Yes," it is only necessary that Trump announce that he has resigned or will resign. Whether he actually resigns will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US federal government; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
