This market will resolve according to the listed individual who hosts the first White House Press Briefing after Karoline Leavitt goes on leave. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If Karoline Leavitt's leave is not announced, this market will resolve according to the next individual excepting Karoline Leavitt who hosts a White House Press Briefing as listed on the official schedule. If Karoline Leavitt does not go on leave, or if no White House Press Briefings occur between the beginning of Leavitt's leave and May 31, this market will resolve to "Other". For the purposes of this market, if Leavitt resigns or otherwise leaves her position, it will qualify as a leave. This market refers to White House press briefings by the acting White House Press Secretary (https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/topic/calendar/). Any press briefing by the acting White House Press Secretary will qualify, even if the host is not formally announced as the acting or interim Press Secretary. "New Media" press briefings or special briefings such as those including extra guests will be considered, so long as the acting White House Press Secretary is a listed participant. Impromptu press gaggles will not be considered for the resolution of this market; only events listed on the public schedule as briefings or announcements will qualify. This market will resolve based on footage of the next White House Press Briefing that Karoline Leavitt does not host.White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's impending maternity leave for her second child, due in May, has fueled trader consensus elevating Principal Deputy Anna Kelly to a 33% implied probability as the first substitute to host a briefing, given her direct oversight of media relations and recent high-profile appearances defending administration positions. The fragmented field reflects uncertainty in Trump's unconventional staffing, with Donald Trump at 19.5% due to his history of personally briefing, assistants Taylor Rogers and Liz Huston buoyed by press office proximity, and policy heavies like Stephen Miller or Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as wildcard outsiders. Support could consolidate if Leavitt announces a designated fill-in or skips her next James S. Brady Press Briefing Room session amid her pregnancy schedule.
