# When will Hung Cao be confirmed as Secretary of the Navy? — In 2026

Live · $4,561 traded · listed on Kalshi

## About

Hung Cao must be the first person confirmed by the U.S. Senate as Secretary of the Navy before the applicable date. Serving as Acting Secretary, a presidential announcement of intent, formal nomination, committee hearing or report, cloture, or a scheduled vote does NOT constitute confirmation. If his nomination is withdrawn before a deadline, that market immediately resolves to No.
