3 prediction markets price this story:

• Nithya Raman, ≥2% — the market puts it at 97%, with $8k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if Nithya Raman wins the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral election by a margin of at least 2%. The outcome is No if she loses or wins by less than 2%. Readers often mistake the linked poll results for the final election result.
• Nithya Raman — resolved “No” on 3 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Bernie Sanders publicly endorses Nithya Raman for the 2026 Los Angeles mayoral race before November 3, 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story’s mention of independence as a resolution factor, but only a public endorsement by Sanders counts.
• Nithya Raman and Xavier Becerra — resolved “Yes” on 5 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes only if Nithya Raman wins the Los Angeles mayoral election and Xavier Becerra wins the California gubernatorial election by November 2026. Both candidates must win their respective races for the outcome to be Yes. Readers often mistake this for a prediction of individual candidate success rather than requiring both specific victories simultaneously.
