How it resolves
Resolved by whoever created the market, at their discretion per the question's description. It's play-money (Mana) and not tied to an official source — treat it as a community forecast.
Resolution criteria
[image](Forbes article about his post) Will it happen? If it does what will be true? For ease of common parlance, "stimulus check" in this market is referring to the "dividends" of his post. If this becomes a completely unsustainable metaphor, some answers may need to resolve or be rewritten. Will resolve to best reporting, at latest by the end of his time in office or within a few months after the checks go out to let news stories shake loose. If the check doesn't materialize before he leaves office, answers that are able to will resolve to YES or NO rather than N/A. (If that happens, I hope it's clear that most would resolve NO, but I imagine "All for the same amount" probably has to resolve N/A since it can be easily read as YES and NO if there are no checks) Clarifications: Because this "resolves to best reporting", the answer to most clarifying questions about "What does 'some' or 'significant' mean?" is: does the news report on it as a big deal? The base value of the dividend per person is what matters. If you can get $2000 cash but also have options for a $2100 tax credit or a $1900 instant deposit, that's a $2000 check If the base value doesn't end up being the same per person and ends up straddling over one of the answers, the answer resolves to the percent across the line (say 20% of receivers only get $100 and the other 80% get $300, then "≥$200" resolves to 80%) "non-citizens or non-existent persons" is intentionally broad in order to also include companies, AIs, and fraud Real implementation is what we're measuring, so if judicial/ legislative intervention changes anything, or reporting shows it's not aligned with announcements, that's what matters AI Gibberish Area, occasionally deleted: Update 2025-11-10 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Regarding the answer about "non-citizens or non-existent persons": This includes legal resident aliens (even though they were eligible for previous stimulus rounds). The answer is intentionally broad to cover multiple scenarios: Whether Trump attempts to exclude non-citizen legal residents (differently from previous stimuli) Whether distribution flaws create exploitable gaps for bad actors Whether "dividends" are actually directed to corporations instead of individuals (trickle-down economics approach) Update 2025-12-19 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): If Trump calls a payment the "tariff dividend", the market will resolve based on it, even if the funding source is not actually from tariffs (e.g., if it's from reallocated funds like troop housing). Update 2025-12-20 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The market will resolve based on the "Warrior Dividend" (a payment to military members), but resolution will be partial and staged: Answers that can be determined from the Warrior Dividend alone (like "Any American receives it") have been resolved Other answers (like ">$2000" and "only given out to military") will remain open to see if additional versions of "tariff dividends" are announced or distributed The creator is waiting to see if other thresholds are met by future dividend programs before resolving remaining answers The AI keeps spamming duplicative nonsense with every reply I make so I've gotta shut it off for now. There will be no AI clarifications added to this market's description. (ugh wish this were just a toggle)

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

The Republican nomination market is essentially a blank slate with no declared candidate, as the combined odds of the two listed figures (Byron Donalds at 1%, Mike Pence at 0%) barely exceed 1%, indicating the race is wide open for any major figure to enter and become the immediate front-runner.

The field is moderately concentrated with Newsom and Ocasio-Cortez combining for 66%, but the 21% for both Buttigieg and Harris and a 23% 'Other' share show significant latent openness; the biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in 2028 (NYT, Jul 24), which could reshape candidate strategies and delegate math.

2028 Presidential Election Winner
The field is unusually fragmented with no candidate above 18%, and the top three sum to just 41%, reflecting a wide-open race where the biggest recent shift is the absence of a clear front-runner despite ongoing midterm elections and controversies over election integrity. The 2026 primary results (NBC News, Jul 23) are reshaping candidate viability, but no single contender has consolidated support yet.
