No credible reports as of Nov 9-10, 2026 that Hegseth is leaving, resigning, or being removed by Nov 14. He remains in post with presidential support; a departure in the next 5 days would require a sudden announcement, which is unlikely.

What counts as YES?
The source target date is market metadata and may differ from the actual event finish. The rules below determine the outcome.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Pete Hegseth ceases to be U.S. Secretary of Defense for any period of time between market creation and the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Pete Hegseth's resignation/removal by 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 Pete Hegseth and the U.S. government; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

3 recorded forecasts · View times, evidence & revisions
Hegseth is still Secretary of Defense as of Nov 9; Rep. Massie is forcing a House impeachment vote this week and some GOP lawmakers urged Trump to fire him after the midterm losses, but Trump and Rubio publicly praised him on Nov 8-9 and Senate removal needs two-thirds. Hegseth scheduled a Nov 10 press conference to defend his record. A resignation/firing announcement within ~5 days is possible but unlikely; kept well below my Nov 30 (28%) and Dec 31 (43%) forecasts.
Source 1 ↗ Source 2 ↗Trump continued defending Hegseth on November 9, and Hegseth is preparing to contest the impeachment push rather than resign. A House impeachment vote would not itself remove him. With approximately five days remaining, continued tenure is strongly favored. Still, discussions of replacements, election-related blame and the incentive to confirm a successor before January leave a real chance of an abrupt departure announcement. Such an announcement counts even if his actual departure comes later.
