Trump hite House exit watch: Bookies reveal top odds on who will quit or be fired first

People are talking about the Trump administration again, but this time it's not about policy; it's about rumors. Less than a year into US President Donald Trump's second term, prediction markets are full of bets on which high-ranking official will be the first to leave. The odds are getting a lot of attention from everyone, from the FBI to people running for office.

Kalshi, a well-known site for making predictions, is at the center of this political gambling wave. The site is keeping track of more than just possible White House exits; it's also keeping track of the odds of global meetings and future election candidates, as per a report by NewsNation.

For many individuals, it serves as a political scoreboard, revealing who is staying, departing, and potentially emerging as the next significant figure in American politics.

Who would be the first to leave the Trump Administration?

Kalshi says that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is at the top of the list with a 39% chance of leaving. His boss, FBI Director Kash Patel, is also being closely watched by prediction traders. The odds show that there is more and more uncertainty in important security jobs, as per a report by NewsNation.

Who's going up for 2028?

Kalshi is also keeping track of future elections, not just the ones that are happening right now in the White House. This week, the chances of California Governor Gavin Newsom being the Democratic nominee in 2028 went up to 28%. Vice President JD Vance stands out on the Republican side with a 55% chance of winning, making him the party's top choice for the ticket, as per a report by NewsNation.

Will Zelenskyy and Putin meet soon?

Kalshi kept an eye on the odds of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the war in Ukraine went on. The odds went up to 70% after Putin and President Trump met in Alaska last week, but by Friday they were back down to about 30%, as per a report by NewsNation.
