Hegseth departure odds retreat across two Polymarket deadlines

ProbCast scores the Hegseth move as a confirmed move in its 3:19 PM ET update, backed by deep liquidity and a tight spread. A separate contract on Hegseth being out by November 30 fell 14.5 points to 20 percent.

The Polymarket contract on Pete Hegseth being out as Secretary of Defense by December 31 fell 13 points to 36 percent, according to ProbCast.

A separate contract covering his departure by November 30 declined 14.5 points to 20 percent. Both moves lowered the market-implied likelihood of an exit within their respective time frames.

ProbCast flags confirmation

ProbCast classified the Hegseth move as confirmed in its 3:19 PM ET update, citing deep liquidity and a tight spread. The supplied report was published on Nov 6, 2026, at 3:45 PM ET.

That classification concerns the market movement, not confirmation of any change in Hegseth’s position. The supplied material gives no explanation for the repricing.

What it means for prediction markets

  • The December 31 contract remained above the November 30 contract, at 36 percent versus 20 percent, despite declines in both.
  • The November 30 contract recorded the larger drop: 14.5 points, compared with 13 points for December 31.
  • ProbCast’s liquidity and spread assessment supports its characterization of the move as confirmed, but the supplied reporting does not establish what drove traders’ changing expectations.
