This market will resolve to “Yes” if Pete Hegseth ceases to be U.S. Secretary of Defense for any period of time between market creation and the specified date (ET).

The resolution source for this market will be official information from Pete Hegseth and the U.S. government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Pete Hegseth, confirmed as Secretary of Defense in a narrow 51-50 Senate vote on January 24, 2025—with Vice President Vance casting the tie-breaker—has maintained his Pentagon leadership for over 14 months despite early 2025 rumors of replacement and ongoing Democratic scrutiny. Recent developments, including a March 24 follow-up letter from Senators Warren and Blumenthal questioning DoD contracting amid Trump family conflicts and Hegseth's March 25 announcement dropping rank insignia for military chaplains to refocus on spiritual readiness, underscore his active role without indications of imminent ouster. Trader consensus at 74.5% "No" reflects his stability under the Trump administration, bolstered by alignment on priorities like $1.5 trillion defense spending by 2027, absent major scandals or institutional pressures in the near term ahead of June 30.
