This market estimate the market consensus about what are the biggest reason/possibly scenario for Trump to not be the republican nominee, during the month of Feb 2024.
Resolves to the one month average percent from February 1st to Feb 29th. My judgment will be based on the graph, so it might be off by a few percent. If others have provided a precise average in the comments, I will rely on that precise average instead.
Let's explore what might stop him.

“He makes a series of huge PR blunders.” 🤣
He could:
Mock a person with disabilities.
Make some incredibly sexiest remarks.
Disrespect the parents of a dead war hero.
Disrespect a living war hero.
Or perhaps he could:
Be convicted of rape.
Steal classified documents.
Pressure people to overturn the will of American voters.
Encourage an angry mob to attack a government building.
Tell the angry mob that he loves them after they kill a few police officers.
Be found guilty of business fraud.
Make a series of bizarre statements and slur his words on multiple occasions.
@Tumbles This market resolves to the average percent in the month of February, it likely won’t resolve NA.
@AmmonLam oh it's advanced whalebait lol. I guess the way you have it set up is slightly better, interesting idea
@Tumbles
I suppose you could consider it a whale bait market, but in this case, the whales face a real risk if they try to manipulate the price.
Let's say whales pushed a highly improbable reason to 99%, and then the unlikely scenario of Trump not being the nominee for another reason unfolds in February. In such a situation, the market force would be too large for the whales to maintain a high price when the true price should be 0%
