This market will resolve to "Yes" if Samuel Alito announces that he will retire from his position as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States by the specified date at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". The announced timing of his retirement may be immediate, at the end of the current Supreme Court term, or at any point in the future. Any qualifying announcement from Alito will count for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether the announced retirement goes into effect. The resolution source for this market will be official announcements from Alito or one of his official representatives.Samuel Alito's August 2026 statement to the Wall Street Journal that he intends to serve another full term has sharply reduced near-term retirement expectations among traders. The 76-year-old justice, who hired clerks for the October 2026–June 2027 term, directly addressed speculation triggered by an erroneous June NPR report that was swiftly retracted. Conservative voices have urged retirement while Republicans hold Senate majority to allow President Trump a fourth appointment, but Alito rejected that pressure. Markets now focus on whether any announcement could still occur before midterms or year-end, amid the justice's explicit timeline and the structural reality that Supreme Court vacancies are announced only by the justice themselves.
