Kalshi
The event evaluates whether Pete Buttigieg mentions any of several specified terms during the MS NOW: The Weeknight broadcast scheduled for October 26, 2026. Each market corresponds to a different term or phrase (e.g., "Republican," "Afford / Affordable / Affordability," "Healthcare," etc.), and the market resolves to Yes if Buttigieg says the exact phrase, word, or any plural/possessive form of it during the live broadcast while speaking in an official capacity. Resolution relies primarily on video footage of the broadcast, with official transcripts used as a secondary source if video consensus cannot be reached. Markets do not count grammatical variations, off-mic comments, or content from other sources. If the event is canceled, the "Event does not qualify" market resolves to Yes, and all others resolve to No. Postponements within 14 days keep markets open.
