About This Event
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).

What the contract measures
This contract is a single Polymarket market asking whether the White House will call a full lid by 6:30 PM on October 24. The source defines a full lid as "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" [1]. The market resolves "Yes" if the White House Press Office calls a full lid for that date by 6:30 PM ET. Otherwise it resolves "No" [1].
The wording is narrow. The source states that "lunch lids, intermissions, or any other press lid not explicitly listed as a full lid will not be sufficient" [1]. A lid that ends the day but is announced after the cutoff does not count, although the source allows a qualifying report to be made through 11:59 PM ET the following day if it shows the lid was called by 6:30 PM ET [1].
For timing, the source says resolution follows "the time listed by Roll Call" for the first full lid in its daily calendar, with Forth as a fallback if Roll Call lists no time or is unavailable [1]. The listed end time is 2026-10-25T03:59:00.000Z [1]. This is a provider field for the contract's closing, not an announced event time.
Reading the snapshot
The saved snapshot shows a Yes price of 0.125 and a No price of 0.875 [1]. These are prices from a snapshot observed at 2026-10-22T00:00:05.980Z and retrieved at 2026-10-22T06:24:34.325Z [1]. They are not live quotes, executable prices, or verified probabilities. The gap between observation and retrieval means the figures may no longer reflect current market conditions.
The sample covers one market in one event, with no omitted outcomes [1]. Because this is the complete saved market for the event, the two prices can be read together as the full snapshot for this contract only. No other platform's contract is included, so no cross-platform comparison is made here.
The snapshot does not explain why the prices are where they are. The evidence contains no information about the drivers of either price.
What remains uncertain
The evidence does not show whether a full lid will be called on October 24, and it does not describe any scheduled White House activity for that day. Whether a lid meets the criteria depends on the Press Office announcement and on Roll Call's listing, which are outside the supplied evidence. The archived flag is false, so this snapshot is not a recorded final result [1].

Saved Oct 22, 2026 UTCOverview
This market asks whether the White House Press Office will call a full lid for October 24 by 6:30 PM Eastern Time on that date [1]. The contract's rules define a full lid as an official announcement that the President's public activities for the day have concluded and that no further public events, appearances, or news are expected [1]. The market resolves Yes if a qualifying full lid is called by that cutoff and otherwise resolves No [1]. The rules are narrow. Lunch lids, intermissions, and other press lids that are not explicitly listed as full lids do not count toward a Yes resolution [1]. A qualifying full lid may be reported by the resolution sources through 11:59 PM ET on the following day, but only if the source indicates it was called by the 6:30 PM ET cutoff [1]. The contract's listed end time is 2026-10-25T03:59:00Z [1]. That date is the contract's closing time, not an announced White House event or a scheduled lid. The supplied evidence does not show whether a full lid was called on October 24, and this article does not say how the market will resolve.
Why It Matters
The contract measures a single, specific procedural event: whether a full lid, as defined in the market rules, is called for October 24 by 6:30 PM ET [1]. Because the definition excludes lunch lids and other partial press lids, a day with only partial lids would not satisfy the contract [1]. The resolution order, with Roll Call first and Forth as a fallback, determines which listed time controls the outcome [1]. The market therefore tracks the timing and type of an official White House announcement rather than a broader political outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a full lid under this contract?
A full lid is an official announcement that the President's public activities for the day have concluded and that no further public events, appearances, or news are expected [1].
Do lunch lids or intermissions count toward a Yes resolution?
No. Lunch lids, intermissions, and any other press lid not explicitly listed as a full lid are not sufficient to qualify the market for Yes [1].
Can a full lid reported after 6:30 PM ET still count?
Only if the resolution sources report it through 11:59 PM ET on the following day and indicate that it was called by the 6:30 PM ET cutoff [1].
Which source determines the resolution time?
The market resolves according to the time Roll Call lists for the first full lid called in its daily calendar. If Roll Call does not list a lid time or is unavailable, the market resolves according to Forth [1].
