2 prediction markets price this story:
- Yes — the market puts it at 95%, with $14k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a law banning horse-drawn carriages for hire becomes effective in New York City before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the headline's mention of 2028 as the deadline, but the actual cutoff is January 1, 2027.
- Before Jan 1, 2030 — the market puts it at 32%, closing 1 Jan 2030. The market resolves to Yes if Zohran Mamdani stops serving as Mayor of New York City before January 1, 2030. It resolves to No if he remains in office through that date. Readers often mistake the linked news story about a subway ride for an event that changes his mayoral status.
