## Analysis

This probability reflects the current market assessment that Donald J. Trump has a 14% chance of becoming the Republican Party's presidential nominee. The low probability suggests markets are pricing in significant headwinds for a Trump nomination, likely reflecting his current legal situation, age considerations, and potential party preferences for alternative candidates. Key factors that could move this probability include changes in his legal status, shifts in Republican primary endorsements, or major statements from party leadership. The outcome will ultimately be determined by delegate counts and formal nomination voting at the Republican National Convention, with the nomination process timeline extending through summer 2026.

### Key factors

- Trump's current legal exposure and any major developments in ongoing cases that could affect his electability calculus
- Republican primary results and delegate commitments, which would indicate party preference among voters
- Public statements from major Republican figures regarding their preferred nominee and whether they actively support or oppose Trump
- Historical precedent regarding candidates facing legal challenges seeking major party nominations in modern primary contests
- Convention delegate allocation rules and whether any rule changes are proposed that could affect nomination outcomes

## Methodology

Probability is **liquidity-weighted** across all bound Kalshi/Polymarket contracts: Σ(price × volume) ÷ Σ(volume). 30-day trajectory uses the daily mean of intraday 5-min captures. 24h delta = today's mean − yesterday's mean. Movement events are ≥3pp daily moves in the last 7 days.
