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 removed Attorney General Pam Bondi on April 2, appointing Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche—his former personal defense lawyer—as acting head of the Department of Justice, fueling trader consensus that positions Blanche at 27.5% while elevating EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin to 55.5% lead based on multiple reports of him topping Trump's shortlist for permanent nominee. Zeldin's prior loyalty and availability from his EPA role bolster his edge amid rapid cabinet shifts, whereas Texas AG Ken Paxton's 6.6% reflects scant recent linkage beyond his Texas Senate primary bid. Odds imply Senate confirmation hearings loom soon, with no announcement by June 30 trading low at 2.3% given the vacancy's urgency.
