This event measures the number of political endorsements Donald Trump makes on Truth Social during July 19-25, 2026. An endorsement counts only if it is a clear, affirmative statement of support for a candidate in an election, such as explicitly stating 'I endorse' or 'I support' a named candidate for a specific office.
Resolution is based on the total count of distinct individuals endorsed by Donald Trump for election on Truth Social between July 19 and July 25, 2026. An endorsement must be a clear, affirmative statement of support; ambiguous statements do not qualify. Qualifying endorsements include explicit phrases such as 'I endorse [candidate] for [office],' 'I support [candidate]' referencing a political race, 'Vote for [candidate]' publicly, or '[candidate] has my full support' for a specific race. Reaffirmations of prior endorsements count toward the total. If Trump endorses multiple candidates in the same election, each counts separately. A single person cannot be counted more than once within the same week. Posts that merely state a candidate was endorsed without a clear affirmative statement from Trump do not qualify. Resolution outcomes are determined by seven tiered thresholds: at least 3 endorsements, at least 5, at least 10, at least 15, at least 20, at least 25, or at least 50 endorsements.
Prediction markets and polls measure different things: polls typically capture public opinion or stated preferences at a single moment, while this market aggregates real-money forecasts from traders who profit when their predictions prove accurate. For an event like endorsement volume, traditional polls are rarely conducted, so prediction market odds serve as an alternative signal of informed expectation. Traders incorporate news, historical patterns, and current events into their positions, often providing earlier or more dynamic signals than conventional surveys.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through continuous order-book trading, where buyers and sellers submit bids and offers for different outcome ranges. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price of each outcome reflects the aggregate willingness of traders to accept risk at that level. As new information emerges during the week, traders adjust their positions, moving prices up or down to reflect changing expectations about how many endorsements will actually be posted.
This market resolves around Jul 26, 2026, after the trading week closes. The outcome is determined by counting the total number of endorsements Trump posts on Truth Social between July 19 and July 25, verified against credible public sources and the platform's own records. Once the final count is confirmed, the market settles to the corresponding outcome bracket, and traders' positions are paid out according to their predictions.
Several factors could shift odds in this market: major political announcements or campaign developments that prompt Trump to endorse candidates, breaking news affecting the political landscape, and real-time endorsement counts posted during the week. Traders monitor Truth Social directly for new posts, adjust positions based on emerging patterns, and react to external events like primary elections or policy announcements. Early-week endorsement activity often signals Trump's intended pace, allowing traders to refine their forecasts as the deadline approaches.
