Result Rules

This market will resolve according to the next individual who the White House announces has been picked to be the White House Press Secretary who replaces Karoline Leavitt by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET.

A person being announced as an acting or interim holder of the position will not count for purposes of this market.

In the event that no individual is chosen to replace Karoline Leavitt, or the role is abolished, by December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other".

Once a qualifying announcement has occurred, subsequent withdrawals or replacement announcements will not affect resolution.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the White House and Donald Trump, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

AI Valuation Analysis: Finding Market Mispricings & EV Gaps

While human consensus and speculative volume shape the broader prediction market, our quantitative algorithms offer a data-driven counter-perspective. By analyzing fundamental signals, underlying trends and historical distributions, our AI Valuation model calculates an independent “Fair Value” probability for each outcome.

Comparing this Fair Value against the current Trade Value uncovers major disparities — known as the Expected Value (EV) Gap. Contracts with a positive EV Gap represent statistically underpriced outcomes, whereas a negative EV Gap flags a potential market overreaction.

Top AI Alpha & Mispriced Arbitrage Opportunities

Based on the latest data model run, several key contracts stand out with significant deviations:

  • The Most Overvalued Outcome Anna Kelly currently trades at 20%, but our AI places its Fair Value at just 17.9%. This creates a large negative EV Gap of -2.1%, suggesting the crowd may be overhyping this outcome and driving the premium too high.
  • The Best Value Play (Highest EV) Our model identifies Scott Jennings as the premium value opportunity on the board. While the market only assigns it a 16.3% trading probability, our AI’s Fair Value assessment sits at 21.9% — yielding an impressive +5.6% EV Gap.

As of the latest update, Anna Kelly leads the field as the frontrunner with a 20% win probability, followed by Scott Jennings at 16.3%. Total trading volume for this pool has reached $388K, indicating deep liquidity and high trader engagement.

How does the AI Fair Value differ from the live Market Trade Value?

The live Market Trade Value reflects public sentiment, order-book momentum and speculative capital. Our AI Fair Value is computed independently with quantitative models that strip out hype to focus on underlying data. When the two diverge, it creates an EV Gap, flagging where the market may be mispricing an outcome.

Which outcome represents the highest Expected Value (EV) right now?

Our latest run flags Scott Jennings as the most significant mispricing. While the market trades it at a 16.3% implied probability, our AI calculates a Fair Value of 21.9% — an Expected Value gap of +5.6%, making it the premium value play in this pool.

Is the market consensus overreacting to any specific outcome?

Yes — our data suggests a notable overreaction around Anna Kelly. The crowd has pushed its live Trade Value up to 20%, yet our Fair Value assessment puts its real likelihood at just 17.9%, a negative EV Gap of -2.1% that signals the contract is overpriced.
