YES undervaluedSignificant gapMedium confidence

Trump has opened the door to replacing her, but that is pressure, not removal; one qualifying briefing makes Yes far likelier than the market.

“Yes”Fair price range62–94¢

Trump has publicly opened the door to replacing his press secretary after a rocky start.
The step is an opening to replacement, not an announced removal.

CURRENT MARKET

Will Katie Zacharia give another press briefing as Press Secretary?

⚠Risk: The call depends on her staying in the job long enough to lead a qualifying briefing; an official White House announcement replacing her would be an early signal that this risk is materializing.

Next watch: Watch for an official White House announcement on Zacharia's tenure, especially any move to replace her; replacement would reduce the chance she leads a qualifying briefing.
