How this market settles

If Jon Ossoff has announced that he will run for President of the United States in 2028 before Apr 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

  • 'Source Agency' is referenced but not defined in the provided description, leaving uncertainty about which outlets qualify for reporting the announcement
  • The boundary between a 'formal campaign announcement' and a 'statement of interest' may be subjective and disputed
  • The description specifies the 2028 election year but the market question does not explicitly mention 2028, creating a minor inconsistency if Ossoff announced for a different future election cycle
  • No explicit timezone clarification for what constitutes 'before Apr 1, 2027' beyond the end date timestamp of 14:00 UTC
