(No Orban)\u201d contract. The market\u2019s leading outcome, \u201cStarmer &#8211; UK PM,\u201d last traded at 91.5%, up 1.5 percentage points from 90.0%.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Polymarket prices \u201cStarmer &#8211; UK PM\u201d as the next leader out of power before 2027 at 91.5% (No 8.5%).<\/li>\n<li>Traders repriced the contract after renewed public warnings that a Democratic midterm win could trigger impeachment pressure on Trump.<\/li>\n<li>The contract is set to resolve by 2026-12-31, and the leading outcome is up 20.5 points over the past 24 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said he has \u201cno doubt\u201d Democrats would move to impeach President Donald Trump if they win the U.S. House in November, calling the midterm elections \u201cextremely high\u201d stakes for the president. Ross said that if Democrats were to control both the House and the Senate, it would likely clear the path to a conviction in the Senate. Trump was impeached twice during his first term, with both efforts passing the House but failing in the Senate. House Speaker Mike Johnson has also warned Republicans that losing the House would bring renewed investigations aimed at Trump, his family, associates and former Cabinet officials. The report said some Democrats have already introduced impeachment efforts since Trump\u2019s return to the White House, while other party leaders have publicly described impeachment as a tactical question rather than a top priority.<\/p>\n<h2>Polymarket Odds and Liquidity: Starmer 91.5% on $7.0M Volume as Petro at 3.45% and Trump at 0.15% Lag Far Behind<\/h2>\n<p>On Polymarket, the \u201cNext leader out of power before 2027? (No Orban)\u201d market shows a steep skew toward \u201cStarmer &#8211; UK PM,\u201d with Yes at 91.5% versus No at 8.5% on $7,001,157 in volume. The next-highest priced outcome is \u201cPetro &#8211; Colombia President\u201d at 3.45% Yes \/ 96.55% No, underscoring how little probability is being assigned to alternatives. \u201cTrump &#8211; USA President\u201d sits at 0.15% Yes \/ 99.85% No, indicating traders view Trump being the next leader out before 2027 as a tail risk relative to the field. Several other outcomes cluster near a quarter-point or below, including \u201cNetanyahu &#8211; Israel PM\u201d at 0.25% Yes \/ 99.75% No and \u201cNone before 2027\u201d at 0.25% Yes \/ 99.75% No, suggesting liquidity and conviction are concentrated in the market leader.<\/p>\n<p>Watch whether the top line holds above 90% and whether volume continues to concentrate in \u201cStarmer &#8211; UK PM\u201d versus smaller bids across \u201cPetro &#8211; Colombia President\u201d and \u201cTrump &#8211; USA President\u201d ahead of the 2026-12-31 resolution.<\/p>\n<h2>Beyond \u201cNext Leader Out\u201d: Other High-Volume Polymarket Politics Contracts Bettors Are Tracking Ahead of 2026-12-31<\/h2>\n<p>Away from leadership-turnover timing, Polymarket\u2019s deepest political liquidity is pooling in longer-dated U.S. race pricing, with 19.35% on \u201cPresidential Election Winner 2028\u201d for JD Vance on $641,103,345 in volume and 49.0% on \u201cRepublican Presidential Nominee 2028\u201d for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on $665,834,270. The contrast underscores how traders are balancing near-term parliamentary churn against a broader repricing of the 2028 field as positioning migrates toward the platform\u2019s most active election contracts.<\/p>\n<h2>Odds Trend<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Window<\/th>\n<th>Change (pp)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>24h<\/td>\n<td>+20.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7d<\/td>\n<td>+20.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Implied odds (last 48h)0255075Odds %Starmer &#8211; UK PMPetro &#8211; Colombia PresidentD\u00edaz-Canel &#8211; Cuba PresidentAbbas &#8211; President of Palest\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>By the Numbers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Platform:<\/strong> Polymarket<\/li>\n<li><strong>Market:<\/strong> <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/polymarket.com\/event\/next-leader-out-of-power-before-2027-no-orban\">Next leader out of power before 2027?
