How this market settles

If Ron DeSantis has announced that he will run for President of the United States in 2028 before Jan 1, 2027, including running for the nomination of any political party to contest that office, then the market resolves to Yes. The person must publicly announce their campaign for it to be reported by a Source Agency. Merely filing campaign paperwork with the Federal Election Commission or similar entity is insufficient without a public announcement. The announcement must be for the specific office and election year listed. Exploratory committees or statements of interest without formal campaign announcements do not qualify. Running for a party's nomination to contest the office counts as running for that office. The announcement must come from the person themselves or their official campaign, not from speculation or third-party sources.

What could still go wrong

  • The description title says 'run for President before Jan 1, 2027' but the body specifies the 2028 election — this creates a potential mismatch if DeSantis announces for a different election cycle (e.g., a hypothetical 2024 or 2026 race)
  • 'Source Agency' is referenced but not defined in the provided description, leaving ambiguity about which outlets qualify
  • The cutoff time of 15:00 UTC on January 1, 2027 (rather than midnight) may cause timezone-related disputes near the boundary
  • No explicit definition of what constitutes a 'formal campaign announcement' versus a strong statement of intent, which could be borderline
