It is not an estimate by MarketClaims. ## The question, as the venue words it Will adoption of a resolution impeaching Pete Hegseth receive above 210 Yea votes in the House? ## How this market settles If the number of Representatives voting Yea on adoption of a resolution impeaching Pete Hegseth before Jan 3, 2027 is above 210, then the market resolves to Yes. The vote counted is the first House vote in which the House adopts a resolution or an article of impeachment against Pete Hegseth. If the articles are voted on separately, the vote on the first article adopted counts. The following do NOT count: A vote on a motion to table, refer, postpone or otherwise dispose of an impeachment resolution, or on a special rule or the previous question A vote on a resolution or article that the House does not adopt A committee vote The vote must occur in the relevant full chamber (that is, not a Committee vote, though not every member of the chamber needs to have participated in the vote). If no vote has occurred before the specified date, then any market not including "zero" within its count (e.g. "Between 50 and 64") resolves to No, and any market including "zero" (e.g. "Below 50") resolves to Yes. If the vote count is not specified but the resolution is adopted, any market including "435" for the House of Representatives (e.g. "Between 300 and 435") will resolve to Yes, and any market not including "435" resolves to No. Once the market has expired, a request by any Member of Congress to add, remove, or alter a vote shall not be considered for purposes of resolving this market, regardless of any change to the official vote tally reported by the website Congress.gov or any other official source. ## Evidence you can inspect _These labels describe how a claim relates to the question.

No individual review. It rests on 30 claims from 8 publishers; anything not reported in those sources is not represented here. The report recorded 4 resolution risks, listed with this brief. - The description specifies 'above 210' meaning strictly greater than 210, but the threshold of exactly 210 Yea votes would resolve No, which could be a source of minor dispute - Timezone of the January 3, 2027 deadline is specified as 15:00 UTC but votes could occur late in the day in US Eastern time, creating potential edge cases - If multiple impeachment resolutions are introduced and voted on, only the first adopted one counts — determining which is 'first' could be ambiguous if votes occur very close together or on the same day - Post-expiration vote changes are explicitly excluded from consideration regardless of official record changes, which could create discrepancy with official tallies ## Publication history - Published 11 November 2026; research dated 11 November 2026. - Published 7 November 2026; research dated 7 November 2026. ## Since the previous brief Compared with research dated 7 November 2026.
