Governor Hochul Makes an Announcement

Video of the next Governor Kathy Hochul announcement will be primarily used to resolve the market; if a consensus by Kalshi employees cannot be reached using video, transcripts of the next Governor Kathy Hochul announcement will be used according to the news publications listed in the contract. The exact phrase/word, or a plural or possessive form of the phrase/word, must be used. Grammatical/tense inflections are otherwise not included. Plural nouns used as or within a proper nouns (e.g. names, titles, etc) are included. Please see full rules for more details. For the purposes of this market, “next Governor Kathy Hochul announcement” refers to the first livestream on the Governor Kathy Hochul main YouTube channel (@GovernorKathyHochul) after February 23rd, 2026 at 11:15 PM ET. The livestream will resolve based on Kathy Hochul speaking in an official capacity. If Kathy Hochul is present during a livestream, but does not speak in an official capacity the market will not qualify (e.g., inaudible private conversations on camera, unofficial statements picked up on a hot mic). Additional source agency streams can be used in the event of technical outages or if Governor Kathy Hochul ends the stream prior to the conclusion of the event. For the purpose of this market, the live broadcast or stream will be used to resolve this event. Except as otherwise specified, previously aired content, archival footage, and recordings captured at times, places, or events wholly separate from the featured address will not count.
