This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed individual officially announces that they are running for U.S. President in the 2028 United States presidential election by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. An announcement by the listed individual will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they actually filed a nomination to run, or whether they actually file a nomination to run in the future. A qualifying announcement must be explicit and unambiguous. Conditional statements, or statements that are clearly sarcastic, made in jest, or immediately clarified as not being genuine will not count. The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements by the listed individual (ex: via speech, social media, etc.), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.As of August 2026, no major-party frontrunners have formally announced 2028 presidential campaigns, though exploratory activity continues. Gavin Newsom publicly confirmed consideration of a Democratic bid in late 2025, while Kamala Harris has been reported exploring options and several Republicans including JD Vance and Marco Rubio lead early prediction-market pricing for their party’s nomination. Ballotpedia notes zero noteworthy declarations at this stage, consistent with historical patterns where announcements typically accelerate after midterm elections. Democrats are advancing discussions on the 2028 primary calendar, and minor candidates have begun FEC filings. The November 2026 midterms and subsequent positioning by governors, senators, and cabinet officials represent the next likely catalysts for formal entries before the 2028 cycle intensifies.
