4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi prediction market prices 12% on Speaker Mike Johnson being removed from his position.
The House deadlock is consistent with elevated but not decisive removal risk, markets are not treating a holiday-week revolt as a tipping-point event.
A prior precedent where Kevin McCarthy was removed after a similar series of revolts provides the real-world reference that Kalshi bettors appear to be discounting.
Resolves via New York Times confirmation of Johnson's removal as Speaker; the trigger is removal, not a failed procedural vote.
