This market will resolve based on when Karoline Leavitt begins speaking. If the recorded data falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. This market refers to White House press briefings by Karoline Leavitt (https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/topic/calendar/). Any press briefing by Karoline Leavitt will qualify. "New Media" press briefings or special briefings such as those including extra guests will be considered, so long as Karoline Leavitt is a listed participant. Impromptu press gaggles will not be considered for the resolution of this market; only events listed on the public schedule as briefings or announcements will qualify.

(https://www.youtube.com/whitehouse)Trader consensus strongly favors White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt arriving less than 15 minutes late (66%) to her next James Brady Press Briefing Room session, driven by her punctuality in recent high-stakes briefings amid the U.S.-Iran ceasefire and NATO talks. On April 8, Leavitt's briefing started near its 1:00 p.m. ET schedule while addressing the two-week truce and Strait of Hormuz reopening, with no reported major delay despite presidential consultations. Earlier sessions on March 30 and 25 similarly aligned closely with announcements, though historical patterns include brief holdups for Trump monitoring developments. Moderate delay ranges (15-35 minutes at ~49%) reflect uncertainty from potential last-minute diplomatic updates, underscoring the closely contested nature beyond the leading outcome.
