• Will Tom Cotton win the 2028 US Presidential Election? — the market puts it at 0%, with $71 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.
• Tom Cotton — the market puts it at 0%, closing 21 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if Tom Cotton becomes the first person confirmed by the Senate as a Supreme Court Justice before January 20, 2029.

• Before Jan 4, 2027 — the market puts it at 10%, with $26 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 4 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if a bill restricting SNAP benefits becomes law before January 4, 2027.
