If the White House moves reporters out of the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room after Issuance and before Jan 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
Only reporting from any of the Source Agencies qualifies for the purposes of this market. Reports that merely reference prior publications (from before Issuance) do not qualify. Republishing of content originally produced by other sources (e.g., wire services) only qualifies if the content is hosted on the outlet's official platform and the outlet is clearly identified as the publishing entity. The move counts once the White House has moved the press corps' workspace attached to the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room, or its regular press briefings, out of the West Wing, whether to another building, to a temporary structure or with no replacement space, or has officially ordered or announced such a move as a definite decision, even if it takes effect later. A definite decision announced by the President himself, including on his own social media accounts, counts. The following do NOT count: A statement that the idea is under consideration, that options remain on the table, or that an announcement will come later, or a report of what the President wants A temporary relocation or closure for renovation, construction or security, with the reporters' return planned A single briefing or event held elsewhere while reporters keep the briefing room and its workspace Removing, restricting or barring particular journalists or outlets from the room, the press pool or the grounds A move to another room inside the West Wing
