This market will resolve to “Yes” if Howard Lutnick ceases to be the US Secretary of Commerce for any period of time between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Lutnick's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. The resolution source for this market will be official information from the Trump administration however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects a closely contested outlook for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's tenure, with "Yes" at 53.5% implying balanced risks of departure by year-end amid high Trump administration turnover. Recent reports from early April 2026 indicate President Trump's frustration with Lutnick's performance, following firings of Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, fueling speculation of further Cabinet changes. Lingering pressure stems from February's Epstein files revealing undisclosed business ties, prompting bipartisan resignation calls from figures like Sen. Adam Schiff—though the White House rejected them and Speaker Mike Johnson defended Lutnick. No exit has occurred, but upcoming budget hearings or trade policy disputes could tip odds toward resignation, firing, or retention through loyalty as a key transition co-chair.
