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
Resolution criteria The market resolves based on who is appointed as the permanent president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta following Raphael Bostic's retirement on February 28, 2026. Resolution will be determined by official announcement from the Atlanta Fed's board of directors. If no successor is appointed by February 28, 2026, Cheryl Venable will assume the duties of president on an interim basis, in which case the market resolves to "Other" or N/A pending a permanent appointment. For official announcements, see: https://www.atlantafed.org/ Background Raphael Bostic, the 15th president of the Atlanta Fed since June 2017, announced his intention to retire at the end of his current term on February 28, 2026. The Atlanta Fed's board of directors will form a search committee comprised of non-banking members to conduct a nationwide search for the next president, consistent with Federal Reserve policies and the Federal Reserve Act. Bostic's replacement will be selected by the Atlanta Fed's board of directors, which are made up of local business and community leaders, not the Trump administration.

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.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
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.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
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.
