Who will Trump meet with in July?
💡 What the odds say
Most likely: Giorgia Meloni at about a 100% chance — almost certain.
The field is extremely concentrated on two candidates, with Giorgia Meloni at 100% and Benjamin Netanyahu at 95%, reflecting near-certainty of meetings, but the single biggest recent shift is Netanyahu's surge from lower odds to 95% after Trump confirmed his visit on July 25 (Reuters, Jul 25).
📊 Base rate: In prediction markets for high-profile political meetings, confirmed public statements by the principal (Trump) typically push odds above 90% for the named individual, making the current 95% for Netanyahu consistent with that pattern.
What's driving it
- • Benjamin Netanyahu's odds jumped to 95% after Trump stated the Israeli PM will visit the US next week (Reuters, Jul 25), and Axios reported the meeting is set for Tuesday amid Iran escalation (Axios, Jul 25).
- • Giorgia Meloni's 100% odds are not explained by any recent headline in the provided data, suggesting a prior confirmed meeting or a market anomaly with no clear catalyst.
- • Javier Milei's odds remain low despite a Guardian report (Jul 25) that he is touring Latin America as a 'proxy for Trump', indicating no direct meeting is expected in July.
- • Turkey's Erdogan is not a leader in this market, but a headline (The Times of Israel, Jul 25) on F-35 conditions shows no imminent meeting, consistent with his absence from the top contenders.
Why the front-runners lead
- • Giorgia Meloni leads at 100% likely due to a previously announced or widely expected meeting, though no headline in the provided data confirms this; her position as a key European ally may drive the certainty.
- • Benjamin Netanyahu's 95% odds are directly supported by Trump's own statement (Reuters, Jul 25) and Axios's confirmation of a Tuesday meeting, making the meeting a near-certainty.
- • Both front-runners benefit from being heads of government with strong bilateral ties to Trump, and the headlines provide explicit confirmation for Netanyahu.
Why it's still open
- • Javier Milei could overtake if Trump announces a meeting with him, but his current 'proxy' role (The Guardian, Jul 25) suggests he is not a direct interlocutor this month.
- • No other candidate has any recent headline indicating a scheduled meeting, so the field is effectively closed unless a surprise announcement emerges in the remaining days of July.
- • The market's high concentration leaves little room for an upset, as any new meeting would require a last-minute change in Trump's schedule, which is possible but not signaled by current news.
What to watch
- • July 28, 2026 (Tuesday): The confirmed Trump-Netanyahu meeting (Axios, Jul 25) will likely lock Netanyahu's odds at 100% if it occurs, or cause a sharp drop if canceled.
- • Any new Trump statement in the next 5 days about meeting another leader (e.g., Meloni or Milei) would immediately shift odds for that candidate upward.
- • A major geopolitical event, such as an escalation in Iran tensions (Haaretz, Jul 25), could prompt Trump to add or cancel meetings, reshaping the field.

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.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

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.
