Five days. That is how long Katie Zacharia lasted as White House press secretary before being removed from the position, just five days after being appointed. Zacharia, who joined Trump Media as a senior communications adviser in June, was tapped to replace Karoline Leavitt, who left the administration in late August. The revolving door at the podium is apparently spinning faster than anyone expected.

Prediction Markets Weigh In on the Next Pick

Naturally, the prediction market is now betting on who will replace Zacharia as the next White House press secretary. Data from Kalshi, a federally authorized betting platform, shows that over $3.5 million has been bet on the contract "Who will be Trump's next Press Secretary?"

Anna Kelly, the principal deputy press secretary, leads the list with bettors predicting a 25% probability of her being appointed as Trump's press secretary. Republican commentator Scott Jennings is next on the list, with a 10% probability as per prediction markets. Elizabeth Pipko, a former model and Republican Party spokesperson, is third with a 5% probability as per bettors.

Who Is Next Out the Door?

Prediction markets are also betting on who will be the next official to leave the Trump administration. Ric Grenell, the Special Presidential Envoy for Special Missions, has emerged as the first bet, followed by Susie Wiles, the White House Chief of Staff, and Amy Gleason, the Acting Administrator of DOGE.

The prediction market is also betting on the ouster of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has also been under scrutiny after articles of impeachment were filed against him.
