This market will resolve to “Yes“ if the US House of Representatives, by simple majority vote, approves or passes one or more articles of impeachment of President Donald Trump between market creation and January 20, 2029, at 12:00 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Neither trial nor conviction by the US Senate, nor removal from office, is necessary to resolve this market to “Yes“. The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the federal government of the United States; however, a consensus of credible reporting will be used.

Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi differ fundamentally from polls. Markets aggregate financial incentives—traders risk real money on outcomes, creating prices that reflect genuine belief and information asymmetries. Polls measure stated opinion at a snapshot in time. Impeachment odds depend on legal and political developments that may not yet register in public surveys. Markets often lead polls when new information emerges, and they naturally incorporate uncertainty about future congressional composition, investigations, and political dynamics in ways traditional polling cannot.
Polymarket and Kalshi may show different odds due to variations in user base, liquidity depth, and risk appetite. Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. Each platform attracts traders with distinct strategies and information sets. Polymarket currently shows 66.5% while Kalshi reflects 63.0%, a spread of 3.5 percentage points. Differences can persist because arbitrage is costly and imperfect; traders may also weight political signals differently or face platform-specific constraints. Monitoring both prices reveals where conviction is strongest.
The market resolves on Jan 20, 2029, marking the end of Trump's presidential term. Resolution hinges on whether formal impeachment proceedings occur and result in articles of impeachment passed by the House before that date. The outcome is binary: either impeachment happens or it does not. Traders should monitor congressional activity, investigations, and political developments that could trigger or prevent impeachment proceedings during the contract period.
Major catalysts include congressional investigations, indictments or legal developments affecting Trump, shifts in House party control or leadership, public scandals, and statements from key Republican or Democratic figures. Unexpected revelations, court rulings, or changes in political alliances could rapidly shift impeachment probability. Market prices will react sharply to news suggesting either heightened legal jeopardy or reduced political appetite for impeachment. Monitor both chambers' composition and leadership priorities, as impeachment requires House passage and reflects evolving political calculations.
