A "full lid" at the White House is an official announcement indicating that the President's public activities for the day have concluded and no further public events, appearances, or news are expected. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the White House Press Office calls a full lid for the specified date by 6:30 PM ET on that date. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Only a full lid will qualify; lunch lids, intermissions, or any other press lid not explicitly listed as a full lid will not be sufficient to qualify this market towards a "Yes" resolution. A qualifying full lid may be reported by the resolution sources through 11:59 PM ET on the following day, provided the source indicates that it was called by the 6:30 PM ET cutoff. This market will resolve according to the time listed by Roll Call of the first full lid called in the daily calendar (https://rollcall.com/factbase/trump/calendar/). If Roll Call does not list a lid time or is for any reason unavailable, this market will resolve according to Forth (https://www.forth.news/whpool).The White House press office calls a full lid when the president's official schedule shows no further public events, appearances, or expected statements for the day, allowing the pool to stand down. Schedules released for August 31–September 5, 2026, list daytime activities including executive time, policy meetings, a healthcare affordability announcement, and signings, with closed-press periods in the evenings and no major travel or nighttime obligations noted through the Labor Day weekend. Historical patterns indicate earlier lids during holiday periods when public-facing duties decline. Traders monitor daily guidance, pool reports, and calendar updates for any late additions that could delay a lid past 6:30 PM ET.
