What changed, what matters, and what still needs verification.

What matters

  • - Polling movement, ballot access, debate/news catalysts, and market liquidity.
  • - Whether a market is about nomination, election win, withdrawal, or another defined event.
  • - Adjacent candidate markets that imply the same outcome from another angle.

What to verify

  • - Official resolution source and party/convention rules.
  • - Whether the market can be invalidated or resolves on a special case.
  • - Correlated positions across the same race.

Category pages are research maps, not trade recommendations

These pages are meant to compress a topic into market probabilities, model disagreement, risk filters, and evidence prompts. A strong category page should make the next question obvious even when the best decision is to wait.

Trump out as President before GTA VI?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump ceases to be the President of the U.S. for any period of time before Grand Theft Auto VI is officially released in the US. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". If neither occurs by July 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to 50-50. For the purposes of this market, "release" refers to the game becoming publicly available for purchase or download in the US. Early access, beta versions, other forms of pre-release availability, or leaks will not count as an official release. If the release is only for certain consoles (e.g. Xbox Series X/S) it will count. The resolution source for the release of GTA VI is official information from Rockstar Games or its parent company, Take-Two Interactive. An announcement of Trump's resignation/removal, or a scheduled departure from office due to the outcome of an election will not alone qualify. Only permanent removal from office will qualify for resolution. Temporary removals, such as temporary invocation of the 25th Amendment, will not count. The resolution source for Trump leaving the presidency will be a consensus of credible reporting.
