Will legislation that reauthorizes FISA Section 702 authority become law before Jan 1, 2027?
🗂 Part of event: When will FISA be reauthorized again? →💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 72% chance — likely.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 72% right now.
The House has already passed a FISA 702 reauthorization bill, but the Senate is stalled by a fight over Trump's DNI nominee Pulte, causing the law to lapse; the 83% odds reflect strong bipartisan desire to restore the tool, but the confirmation battle is the real hurdle.
What's driving it
- • House approval of reauthorization in April (The Hill, Apr 29) set a clear legislative path, pushing odds up.
- • The program lapsed on June 12 (NPR, Jun 12), creating urgency for a deal but also a deadline risk.
- • Democratic revolt over Trump's DNI pick Pulte (ABC News, Jun 8) threatens Senate cooperation, injecting uncertainty that keeps odds below 90%.
The case for YES
- • The House already passed a reauthorization bill (The Hill, Apr 29), providing a ready vehicle for final passage.
- • Both parties have historically supported FISA 702 as a critical intelligence tool, and the lapse increases pressure to act quickly.
- • Sen. Warner expressed hope to confirm the DNI pick soon (CBS News, Jun 14), which could remove the main political obstacle.
The case for NO
- • The Democratic revolt over Pulte's nomination (ABC News, Jun 8) could block Senate action entirely if Democrats refuse to cooperate on FISA until the DNI issue is resolved.
- • The program has already lapsed, and summer recess (Roll Call, Jun 22) reduces available legislative days before the end of the year.
- • A new FISA proposal was only unveiled in late April (Roll Call, Apr 23), leaving little time for Senate amendments and conference if disagreements persist.
What to watch
- • Senate vote on confirming Pulte as DNI: if confirmed, odds rise; if blocked or delayed, odds fall (likely within weeks).
- • Senate floor introduction of a FISA reauthorization bill: a bipartisan compromise would push odds higher; partisan gridlock would lower them.
- • End-of-year deadline pressure: as January 1, 2027 approaches, failure to act by December would sharply increase No odds.

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.

Next Prime Minister To Replace Keir Starmer
The field is highly concentrated, with Andy Burnham absorbing nearly all of the probability after Starmer’s resignation and a key endorsement, pushing the top three candidates' combined odds to an unsustainable 110% that signals liquidity imbalances or heavy speculative positioning. The biggest recent shift is Burnham’s surge to 99% following the ‘Starmer Announces Resignation; Burnham Wins Key Endorsement’ headline (The New York Times, Jun 23).

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).

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.
