3 prediction markets price this story:

Will JD Vance win the 2028 US Presidential Election? — the market puts it at 20%, with $9k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 8 Nov 2028. The market resolves to Yes if JD Vance 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.
Illegal Alien — resolved “Yes” on 19 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if JD Vance uses the specific phrase "Illegal Alien" during the CBS Town Hall originally scheduled for October 17, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the actual broadcast date or a different event for the source of truth.
Will J.D. Vance win the 2028 Republican presidential nomination? — the market puts it at 44%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 8 Nov 2028. The market resolves to Yes if J.D. Vance wins and accepts the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, based on a consensus of official Republican Party sources. It resolves to No in all other cases, including any replacement of the nominee before election day. Readers often mistake the timing of the nomination for the election date or rely on unofficial polls instead of official party declarations.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
