  • Will J.D. Vance win the 2028 Republican presidential nomination? — the market puts it at 31%, with $46k 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.

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.
  • Vance's Republican nomination odds dip to 30% by December 31? — resolved “Yes” on 4 Nov 2026.
