How it resolves

Kalshi's rule, word for word
(Each outcome is its own contract. This is the rule for the favourite, No other person; the others read the same way with their own outcome.) If the next new Secretary of Defense before Jan 20, 2029 is no other person, then the market resolves to Yes. Acting and Interim positions don't count.
