Heads-up — heterogeneous clusters
The top two clusters share only 17% of their title tokens — “Who will win the next presidential election” vs “Who will be named in Epstein documents released in 2026”. The headline aggregate weights both, so the number on this page is meaningful only if the clusters resolve to the same question.

Analysis
This 27% probability reflects the likelihood that Trump will make a significant appointment in April 2026. The level is primarily driven by expectations around the Attorney General position, where Todd Blanche currently has the highest individual probability at 72 cents. Several other contracts reflect different high-level appointments and events, though they show lower consensus. The main factors pushing this probability would be Trump's stated timeline for personnel decisions and any public announcements about when key positions will be filled. The resolution depends on actual appointments being made during April 2026, with the Attorney General role being the most closely watched contract. Market activity has been light on most contracts, suggesting limited trading volume and potentially low confidence in these specific predictions.
- ›Todd Blanche's 72-cent probability as next Attorney General represents the single largest driver of the 27% aggregate, indicating strong market expectation for this specific appointment
- ›Only one contract in the set (Blanche as AG) shows significant trading volume ($8,621 in 24 hours), suggesting most contracts lack liquidity and deeper market conviction
- ›Three alternative AG candidates (DeSantis, Zeldin) carry combined probabilities below 10 cents, indicating relatively low market confidence in competing possibilities
- ›The presence of unrelated contracts (Epstein documents, Taylor Swift as Person of the Decade) in the aggregation raises questions about contract selection methodology
- ›April 2026 deadline is approximately 10 months away, providing substantial time for new information to emerge that could shift appointment probabilities

Trump Markets: Impeachment Odds at 65¢, Administration Turnover in Focus
Trump continues to be a major market driver with bets on his removal, apologies, and cabinet departures. The impeachment market (65¢) suggests traders see a real possibility of proceedings. The administration's turnover is also a focus.
Trump administration and Press Secretary speculation dominate political markets
The market for the next White House Press Secretary is the single highest-volume market in the entire dataset, with Maria Bartiromo leading at 14¢. Other Trump-focused markets on resignation and impeachment are also active, signaling intense trader interest in the political landscape.
How we compute these odds
SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.
For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.
Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
