This market will resolve to “Yes” if the named individual wins and accepts the 2028 nomination of the Democratic Party for U.S. president. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Democratic Party sources. Any replacement of the democratic nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.

The 2028 Democratic presidential nomination market remains tightly contested among leading contenders because no candidate has secured broad consensus support ahead of the midterms, with traders assigning roughly comparable probabilities to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jon Ossoff, and Gavin Newsom based on their distinct profiles and recent visibility. The Democratic National Committee’s August approval of a revised primary calendar—starting with South Carolina on January 22, 2028, followed by Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, and Virginia—has shifted focus toward states with larger Black and Latino electorates, prompting candidates to prioritize outreach and infrastructure there. Ocasio-Cortez’s recent public statements leaving a presidential bid open, combined with renewed DSA ties and early-state polling strength, have supported her market position, while Ossoff’s Senate reelection campaign in Georgia has sustained attention on his battleground-state appeal despite his repeated denials of interest. Harris maintains stronger national polling leads in some surveys, yet traders appear to discount this relative to primary dynamics and structural factors like the open field after 2024. Upcoming November midterm results and candidate announcements could further separate probabilities.
