This market will resolve according to the first individual Donald Trump announces as his pick to be United States Attorney General. An announcement from Donald Trump or the Trump administration stating their intent to nominate a specific individual for United States Attorney General will suffice to resolve this market, regardless of whether a formal nomination actually occurs. Qualifying announcements must explicitly present the relevant individual as the nominee or future nominee for Attorney General. Announcements of acting or interim appointments, or announcements which merely reveal potential candidates, will not qualify. Media reports, speculation, or other unofficial information will not qualify. A formal presidential nomination of an individual to be United States Attorney General will also suffice to resolve this market. Formal nominations are defined as the submission of a nomination message to the U.S. Senate. If Donald Trump does not announce his pick for the next United States Attorney General by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No announcement by June 30". The resolution source for this market will be official information from Donald Trump and the Trump Administration; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.President Trump's abrupt ouster of Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 2 elevated Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to acting AG, sparking intense speculation on a permanent nominee amid reports positioning EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin as the frontrunner. Sources close to the White House indicate Trump is seriously considering Zeldin for the role, boosting trader consensus on his 47.5% implied probability, while Blanche's 23% reflects his interim status and prior service as Trump's defense attorney in high-profile cases. The 19.5% on no announcement by June 30 accounts for potential Senate confirmation delays or holds, as seen with prior nominees; lower odds for Ken Paxton and others stem from scant recent momentum. Traders await an official nomination, with GOP Senate dynamics key to resolution.
