Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 20 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This measures the likelihood that Congress will pass and the President will sign legislation authorizing the Women's History Museum on the National Mall before year-end 2026. The 36% probability reflects modest but uncertain support. The main drivers are whether Democratic and Republican leadership prioritize this cultural initiative amid competing legislative agendas, and whether the proposal maintains broad enough support to advance through committee and floor votes in both chambers. The critical catalyst is House and Senate activity during the remainder of 2026; any bill that clears committee and reaches a chamber floor substantially increases passage odds. Summer and fall floor schedules will largely determine whether this competes successfully against higher-priority legislation for floor time. Budget constraints and competing priorities for National Mall real estate could further limit momentum.

Key factors:
- No signed agreement exists yet between relevant committees and leadership as of late April 2026, reducing likelihood of rapid passage
- The 17-percentage-point gap between Kalshi (37%) and Polymarket (20%) suggests meaningful uncertainty about bill advancement or legislative appetite
- Congressional floor time allocation in 2026 remains contested; cultural projects typically rank below fiscal, security, and partisan priority legislation
- National Mall space availability and feasibility studies would need to show viability; delays in site planning reduce passage probability
- A bill would need to clear both House and Senate and secure presidential signature within approximately 8 months, a tight timeline for non-essential legislation

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
