Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to “Yes” if the individual that wins and accepts the 2028 nomination of the Democratic Party for U.S. president is a woman. 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.
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 the 2028 Democratic Presidential nominee be a woman? | 37% YES | 64% NO |
The Democratic Party will select its 2028 presidential nominee at its national convention in August 2028. The current order book on Polymarket prices the probability of that nominee being a woman at 33%, reflecting meaningful uncertainty about whether the party will field a female candidate in its general election campaign against the Republican nominee.
Historical precedent provides limited guidance. The Democratic Party has never nominated a woman for president, though Hillary Clinton secured the nomination in 2016 and lost the general election. Vice President Kamala Harris, who would be the presumptive frontrunner if seeking the nomination, lost the 2024 general election to Donald Trump. Female senators and governors with national profiles—including those who ran in 2020 and 2024 primaries—have struggled to consolidate support in competitive fields. The 33% probability reflects both the party's historical pattern of nominating men and the possibility that demographic and political shifts could alter that trajectory by 2028.
Key catalysts include the emergence of declared candidates in 2027, performance in early primary contests, and the composition of delegates heading into the August convention. The Democratic National Committee's rules governing delegate allocation and nomination procedures, which may be revised before 2028, will shape the path to nomination. Media coverage of female candidates' viability and fundraising capacity in the 18 months preceding the convention will influence market pricing. Any significant shifts in party leadership or public statements from current senior Democrats about succession could move the probability materially.
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.
