3 prediction markets price this story:

  • J.D. Vance — the market puts it at 44%, with $22 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Mar 2028. The market resolves to Yes if Donald Trump publicly endorses J.D. Vance for the 2028 presidential election before March 1, 2028. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about midterm tensions as relevant, but only a direct endorsement by Trump counts toward resolution.
  • J.D. Vance — the market puts it at 6%, with $117 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Nov 2028. The market resolves to Yes if J.D. Vance formally accepts the Republican nomination for Vice President in 2028. It resolves to No if he does not accept that specific nomination. Readers often mistake a president's endorsement or a candidate's public statements about running for the actual acceptance of the nomination.
  • JD Vance: Republican, Marco Rubio: Republican — the market puts it at 46%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The outcome is Yes if both JD Vance and Marco Rubio announce their campaigns for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination before January 1, 2028. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake any political activity or speculation for a formal campaign announcement.
