Maria Bartiromo’s odds of becoming President Donald Trump’s next press secretary surged to 36% on Kalshi after Fox Business announced her departure, then fell to 9% following reports and comments disputing the speculation. Her odds later recovered to 18%, placing her behind Anna Kelly at 25% but ahead of CNN commentator Scott Jennings at 12%. Bartiromo’s exit has not been publicly explained by Fox, while reporting said it was not linked to a confirmed White House or other network role. Vice President JD Vance said he did not think Bartiromo would take the job, but the market continued to fluctuate as traders assessed the timing of her departure and her history of favorable coverage of Trump.
