If Biden won the election, will the U.S. be more democratic in 2025 than 2022?
This market will resolve YES if the 2025 democracy index for the United States released by the EIU is higher than 7.85, NO if it's less than or equal to 7.85
Resolves NA if Biden didnt win the 2024 presidential election

Compare the price against this market to estimate if Biden being elected will be positive for Democracy in the US

Similar market with a couple more indexes and different end year:
Speaking only for myself, a Trump loss is a necessary but not sufficient condition to increase democracy in the US, and the Democratic Party, despite the bazillion beefs to be had with it, is the most realistic vehicle to defeat or restrain Trumpism, and Biden is the most pragmatic available candidate for that party to do that -- but this is way more conditionals than captured in this question.
@ClubmasterTransparent I agree with this, but it's a lot of "if"s beyond just if Biden wins. As I mentioned below, it's been getting less democratic every year since this indicator was first introduced in 2006, and there are unfortunately not many signs of the trend reversing.
@PlasmaBallin if the price settles to a probability way too low, I'll adjust the target to make it more interesting
@AmmonLam I would expect it to be lower, as it now is. Not sure how much lower it should be, though. There's still a chance that we're end the end of the downward trend.
