Kalshi
The event tracks specific phrases that Jamie Raskin might use during a television interview. It focuses on whether he mentions certain keywords or topics while speaking in an official capacity, with resolution based on broadcast content.
The event resolves based on whether Jamie Raskin utters specified exact phrases during The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell broadcast. Each market defines a unique phrase or set of phrases (including plural/possessive forms) that, if spoken by Raskin in an official capacity, trigger a 'Yes' outcome. Resolution relies primarily on video footage of the live broadcast or stream, supplemented by official transcripts if video consensus cannot be reached. Only content included in the original broadcast counts—promotional material is allowed, but advertisements, archival footage, and unaired segments are excluded. Markets automatically resolve to 'Yes' only if the qualifying event fails to occur due to cancellation or other preventing circumstances; otherwise, they resolve to 'No'. Postponements within 14 calendar days keep markets open. Raskin must be speaking officially; background chatter or off-mic remarks do not count.
Compared to analyst forecasts, this market reflects real-time trader sentiment rather than expert predictions. While analysts may offer their views based on policy analysis or past performance, the odds here are driven by crowd-sourced betting activity. Traders react instantly to breaking news, statement excerpts, and media coverage, which can cause rapid shifts in probability that aren’t always mirrored in slower-moving polling or expert commentary.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, traders set prices through continuous bidding and asking, with the current implied probability reflecting the balance of buy and sell orders. Market depth, recent trading volume of $58,123, and order book dynamics all influence the displayed odds.

This market resolves around Aug 26, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final determination will hinge on exact wording and context from the broadcast, as evaluated against the market’s defined criteria. Traders should monitor major news outlets and transcripts in the days leading up to settlement for any statements that could affect the result.
Key signals include early leaks, prepared remarks, guest interviews, and live audience reactions on the show. Any shift in Jamie Raskin’s publicly reported positions, follow-up commentary from political analysts, or related news coverage can cause rapid price adjustments.
