Any person who is mentioned, not necessarily by name, will resolve yes. I will be the final judge of if a person was mentioned so I will not bet on this market.

Sort by:
Joe Biden Sr.

He talks about "my Dad's kitchen table"

"Having lost children myself" seems like a clear mention of Beau Biden.

Nancy Pelosi

He said "Nancy" and looked out towards her direction in the crowd. Seems like he meant that for her.

Barack Obama
bought Ṁ300 Barack Obama YES

He said "our first black president"

@traders I'm going to wait for transcripts to release before resolving anything (transcripts on what he actually said and not what he was supposed to say)

@JamesF BTW for obamacare I don't think I will count as being Obama as it is specifically mentioning the policy and not the person

@JamesF This is the version that was prepared: https://time.com/6898705/read-president-joe-bidens-2024-state-of-the-union-address-full-transcript/

It might be different from what he actually said though.

bought Ṁ100 Barack Obama YES
Abraham Lincoln
bought Ṁ600 Abraham Lincoln YES

Resolves YES - "Not since President Lincoln and the Civil War have freedom and democracy been under assault here at home as they are today."

Nancy Pelosi
bought Ṁ45 Nancy Pelosi YES

"I'm optimistic, Nancy!"

Donald Trump

He has alluded to him but has not (yet, at 10:00 pm EDT) named him.

@Johne5ee My predecessor is a way of naming him without saying his name which counts

Mike Johnson
bought Ṁ100 Mike Johnson YES

Speech began with “mr speaker”

bought Ṁ100 Donald Trump YES

my predecessor for donald trump

Jesus Christ

(1) if he says the common interjection "Jesus..." in exasperation, would this be a YES? (I'd imagine so)

(2) if he says the common interjection "Jeez..." in exasperation, would this be a YES?

@PaintspotInfez jesus yes, jeez I wouldn't count

Joe Biden

Edit: nvm

@simoj Most likely counts

Can a whale please add Mitch? I don't have the spare change for a 25 point investment

bought Ṁ40 Answer #d247a553e02a YES

Thank you to our benevolent whale of the day, @JamesF 😍

bought Ṁ52 Answer #d247a553e02a YES

@Will94fc Typo - should be McConnell.

Mike Johnson
bought Ṁ50 Mike Johnson YES

The last SOTU started with "Thank you, Madame Vice President" and "Thank you, Mr. Speaker". Unless Mike is forced out in the next few days, it seems pretty likely he'll be mentioned.

FYI Obama mentioned Bergoglio in 2015

@lukres I assume we also count this if Biden calls him "the Pope" or "Pope Francis", right? Those seem much more likely.

bought Ṁ10 Answer #9e146c72ff58 YES


@TimothyJohnson5c16 The market creator specified

Any person who is mentioned, not necessarily by name, will resolve yes.

so yes, definitely. It is the market creator @JamesF who resolves the options, though.
