The rules clearly specify what constitutes a qualifying press briefing, requiring it to be listed on the public White House schedule and led or jointly led by the subject from the podium while serving as Press Secretary. Exclusions such as impromptu gaggles or guest appearances are explicitly detailed. Resolution relies on briefing footage evaluated through a consensus of credible reporting rather than a single definitive official database, which introduces minor subjective discretion, but the strict criteria leave little ambiguity.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Katie Zacharia leads a White House press briefing as White House Press Secretary between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Resolution is based on who actually delivers the briefing from the podium, not on who is listed or announced in advance. Katie Zacharia will not qualify if she appears at a briefing only as a guest, or speaks only after being introduced by the individual leading the briefing. For the purposes of this market, a White House press briefing is an event listed on the public White House schedule as a press briefing. "New Media" briefings and special briefings including additional guests will qualify, so long as Katie Zacharia leads the briefing. Impromptu press gaggles, and remarks that are not listed on the public schedule as a press briefing, will not qualify. If Katie Zacharia jointly leads a qualifying briefing with another individual, the briefing will qualify. A briefing will only qualify if Katie Zacharia is White House Press Secretary at the time of the briefing. This market will resolve based on footage of the briefing, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting.
