Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if Tucker Carlson officially announces that he is running for U.S. President in the 2028 presidential election between market creation and June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purpose of resolving this market, an announcement by Tucker Carlson will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether he actually filed a nomination to run or whether he actually files a nomination to run in the future.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Will Tucker Carlson announce Presidential run by June 30? | 5% YES | 96% NO |
Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host and political commentator, has not announced a presidential campaign for 2028 as of early 2025. The market tests whether he will make such an announcement by the end of June 2026, a window that covers roughly eighteen months from typical market creation. An announcement alone triggers resolution to "Yes"—actual candidacy filing or subsequent withdrawal would not affect the outcome.
The 4% implied probability reflects historical precedent: prominent media figures rarely transition directly into presidential campaigns, and those who do typically signal intentions well in advance through exploratory committees or media appearances. Carlson's previous political involvement has been commentary-based rather than electoral. Comparable cases—such as media personalities who flirted with candidacy but never formally announced—suggest low baseline rates for this specific outcome. The current order book pricing reflects scepticism that Carlson will cross the threshold from punditry to formal candidacy announcement within this timeframe.
Key catalysts include any major shifts in Carlson's media presence, explicit statements about his political future, or significant changes in the 2028 primary landscape that might incentivise his entry. His current activities and public statements will be primary resolution sources. The eighteen-month window means traders should monitor his communications closely, particularly any hints about electoral ambitions. Recent political developments and primary dynamics could alter incentive structures, though no concrete signals of imminent candidacy have emerged as of early 2025.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.

The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
