A federal judge's March 31 order halted President Trump's $400 million White House East Wing ballroom construction, ruling it requires explicit congressional authorization as work on federal property without proper appropriations. Despite the National Capital Planning Commission's April 2 approval of the plans amid public opposition, the judicial injunction remains in effect, blocking resumption. The Trump administration is appealing the ruling, but Republican lawmakers show no urgency to schedule votes or amendments amid competing legislative priorities like budget deadlines. With appeals processes typically spanning weeks or months and Congress in recess patterns, traders price an 92% implied probability against unblocking by April 30, barring a swift emergency motion or bipartisan bill.

Trump ballroom project unblocked by April 30?
This market will resolve to “Yes” if, at any point between market creation and April 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, there are no federal court orders in effect that block construction of the White House ballroom project. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
For the purposes of this market, a “block” refers to any federal court order, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or substantially similar order, that prohibits or materially restricts construction of the ballroom project.
A court order will be considered “in effect” upon issuance unless it has been formally lifted, vacated, expired, or otherwise invalidated such that it is no longer legally enforceable (e.g., through actions of a higher court). Orders for which enforcement is delayed pending further review (e.g. through a temporary administrative stay, or stay pending appeal) will still be considered “in effect”.
If the White House ballroom project receives congressional approval such that all court orders blocking construction are invalidated or rendered unenforceable, this market will resolve to “Yes”.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from relevant federal courts; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
