This market will resolve to “Yes” if Chris Kempczinski ceases to be the CEO of McDonald's Corporation for any period of by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement of Kempczinski's resignation/removal before this market's end date will immediately resolve this market to "Yes", regardless of when the announced resignation/removal goes into effect. The resolution source for this market will be official information from McDonald's Corporation, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Trader consensus on Polymarket overwhelmingly backs McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski staying through June 30, with "No" at a market-implied 95.8% probability, driven by the complete absence of any verified reports, board signals, or performance issues signaling a leadership shakeup. Kempczinski, in the role since 2019, remains highly visible—recently sharing 2026 food trend predictions like fiber-focused items and going viral in March for his "Big Arch" burger taste-test, which he addressed humorously on social media without backlash escalating to ouster talks. Strong quarterly results and expansion plans further solidify his position. Realistic upsets would require sudden catalysts like disastrous earnings, a major scandal, or activist investor pressure, though historical stability and lack of precursors make these low-probability black swans.
