Trump out as President before 2027?

Platform comparison

Market context

Donald Trump faces a 9% crowd-implied probability of resigning or being removed from the presidency before the end of 2026, a figure that reflects the structural difficulty of permanent removal in the current political landscape. Historically, no US president has been removed via impeachment conviction; Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were impeached but not convicted, while Richard Nixon resigned before impeachment to avoid certain removal. The 25th Amendment offers a theoretical path for temporary removal, yet permanent vacancy requires either a Senate conviction with a two-thirds majority or a voluntary resignation, both of which remain unlikely given Republican control of the Senate and the high threshold for conviction[2][7].

Traders should monitor the trajectory of the impeachment inquiry launched by the Democratic majority in the House, as any move toward formal articles of impeachment would signal heightened risk, though conviction remains improbable without Republican defections[2]. Key catalysts include shifts in Senate composition following the 2026 midterms, public statements from Vice President Vance or Cabinet members regarding the 25th Amendment, and any legal rulings that could force a resignation. Kalshi’s prediction market currently prices impeachment and removal at nearly 28.7%, a sharp rise from April, suggesting growing speculation despite the low probability of actual removal[1]. The settlement window closes on 31 December 2026, so any announcement of resignation or removal before that date resolves the market to “Yes” immediately, regardless of when the action takes effect.

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

Which sports markets are available?

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
