Justice Samuel Alito, the senior associate justice appointed in 2006, has not announced any retirement plans as of early April 2026, despite persistent rumors fueled by his age of 76 and a forthcoming book release in October signaling potential post-bench activities. Speculation intensified in February following reports of possible end-of-term departure after the Supreme Court's current session concludes in late June, allowing time for Senate confirmation of a replacement amid the 2026 midterm elections. Alito remains actively engaged, authoring recent opinions and showing no formal steps like notifying the White House or chief justice. Trader consensus reflects low near-term probability, with historical patterns showing justices rarely retire mid-term absent health issues, though strategic timing ahead of midterms could shift dynamics if political pressures mount.
