3 prediction markets price this story:
- Will Tom Cotton win the 2028 US Presidential Election? — the market puts it at 0%, with $12k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 8 Nov 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Tom Cotton wins the 2028 US Presidential Election and No otherwise. Resolution depends on the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC calling the race for the same candidate. If these sources do not agree by January 20, 2029, the outcome is determined by who is inaugurated.
- Donald Trump — the market puts it at 7%, with $41 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump is named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2026. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about his phone call as relevant to this specific award.
- Before Jan 1, 2027 — the market puts it at 33%, with $1 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump makes at least one statement explicitly calling for John Thune to resign, step down, be replaced, or be removed from his position as Senate Majority Leader before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake any criticism of Thune for a call to remove him; only explicit demands count.
