Trump’s Cabinet Shake-Up Triggers Odds-on Next Exit
TL;DR
After Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s resignation, Trump’s cabinet purge intensifies, with bettors on Polymarket placing bets on who’ll be the next ousted. Chavez-DeRemer is the third female cabinet member to leave within weeks, following Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. The frontrunners to depart next are Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, each around 37% odds, amid controversy over Lutnick’s Epstein ties and Hegseth’s Iran-war stance and past allegations. Rubio is viewed as the safest bet. The piece highlights ongoing jockeying and public scrutiny surrounding the shake-up.
