Who will leave the Trump administration in 2026?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: Tulsi Gabbard at about a 86% chance — very likely.
The field is highly concentrated on a few names, with Tulsi Gabbard at 86% far ahead, but the sum of top three at 189% indicates multiple high-probability departures. The biggest recent shift appears to be Pete Hegseth's odds rising after the auto-deleting Signal chat scandal (The Atlantic, Jun 30), though no other candidate shows a clear recent catalyst in the provided headlines.
What's driving it
- • Pete Hegseth's departure probability likely increased following the revelation of an auto-deleting Signal chat involving him, Rubio, and Caine (The Atlantic, Jun 30).
- • No other candidate's odds are clearly tied to a provided headline; Gabbard's 86% and Patel's 53% lack a recent catalyst in the news.
Why the front-runners lead
- • Tulsi Gabbard's 86% odds reflect a sustained market belief in her departure, possibly due to her role as DNI and past friction with Trump, though no recent headline confirms a trigger.
- • Kash Patel at 53% and Kristi Noem at 50% are also seen as likely to leave, consistent with Trump's history of high turnover in senior positions.
- • The market appears to price in a general expectation of multiple departures, as evidenced by the top three summing to 189%.
Why it's still open
- • The field remains open because five candidates have odds above 40%, meaning no single departure is guaranteed and several could leave instead of Gabbard.
- • Pete Hegseth at 33% could overtake if the Signal chat scandal leads to a formal investigation or Trump's displeasure, as the story is recent (Jun 30).
- • Without a clear catalyst for Gabbard's lead, a sudden policy disagreement or firing could shift odds toward another candidate like RFK Jr. (47%) or Pam Bondi (45%).
What to watch
- • Upcoming congressional hearings or media fallout from the Hegseth Signal chat (The Atlantic, Jun 30) could increase his departure odds further.
- • The end of the student loan plan (Jul 1) may not directly affect named officials, but broader administration shakeups could be triggered by policy shifts.
- • The USDA relocation announcement (Jul 2) suggests broader staff attrition, which could indirectly affect named officials if they are part of the relocation wave.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination market is essentially a blank slate with no declared candidate, as the combined odds of the two listed figures (Byron Donalds at 1%, Mike Pence at 0%) barely exceed 1%, indicating the race is wide open for any major figure to enter and become the immediate front-runner.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
