The title asks simply if the subject will run for President in 2028, but the detailed rules introduce a race condition between two specific offices: President and United States Senator. Whichever office she announces for first determines the resolution. Furthermore, the market deadline is set for December 31, 2027, cutting off the entire primary election year of 2028. The rules also establish subjective boundaries by excluding exploratory committees, filings without announcements, and statements deemed conditional, sarcastic, or made in jest. Finally, resolution relies on official statements or a consensus of credible reporting to determine what qualifies as an explicit and unambiguous declaration.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve based on the office, between United States Senator and President of the United States, that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first officially announces that she is running for in the 2028 election cycle by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. An announcement by the listed individual will be sufficient to resolve this market in favor of the corresponding outcome, 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 formation of an exploratory committee, or a statement that she is exploring or considering a run, will not qualify, nor will any filing that is not accompanied by an announcement. If the listed individual does not announce that she is running for either listed office by December 31, 2027 at 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve to "Neither". An announcement of a run for the US House of Representatives will not be relevant for purposes of this market. 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.
Market explained
This market measures whether Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first officially announces a 2028 run for President of the United States versus U.S. Senator, or neither, by the end of 2027.
How it resolves
The market resolves to President of the United States if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez first officially and unambiguously announces a run for President in the 2028 election cycle by December 31, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET. It resolves to U.S. Senator if she first officially announces a run for that office within the same timeframe. It resolves to Neither if she does not announce a run for either office by the deadline. Exploratory committees, statements of exploring or considering a run, non-genuine or conditional statements, and announcements for the U.S. House of Representatives do not qualify. Official statements by the individual are the primary resolution source, alongside credible reporting consensus.
Resolution source
Official statements by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (e.g., via speech, social media), or a consensus of credible reporting.
