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.Recent reports from sources close to Justice Samuel Alito confirm he does not plan to retire during the current Supreme Court term or in 2026, after earlier speculation that he might step down to allow President Trump a fourth nomination before the November midterms. Alito has hired all four law clerks for the term beginning in October and intends to serve into 2027, according to multiple outlets citing individuals familiar with his thinking. At age 76, he remains part of the court's conservative majority with no public statements or actions signaling an imminent departure. The lack of an announcement keeps any retirement market resolution dependent on future developments such as health updates or shifts in Senate dynamics after the elections.
