January 5th, 2026 Welcome back to your daily mind meld with the Polymarket order book. The situations we are monitoring this morning:  ¡Rubio! Marco Rubio's profile has dramatically increased following the weekend's Venezuela operation, and so have his 2028 chances.

The biggest losers from Rubio's rise have been Ron DeSantis, and Donald Trumps, Jr and Sr. |
Khamenei Packing his Bags? Odds for Iran's Supreme Leader to leave power in 2026 are up 30% in the last week as mass protests have spread to several major cities.

Who Runs Venezuela? With Maduro in U.S. custody, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez has been sworn in with military backing and has emerged as the favorite to control the country through 2026.

Trump has stated that Washington will be truly "running" the country during a transition, and there is no firm date for elections yet. |
