There has been press speculation about this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/22/rfk-jr-floated-job-trump-white-house-he-weighed-endorsing-trump/

This will resolve “yes” if RFK Jr. says he’s leaving the race, and encourages his voters to vote for Trump instead of him, regardless of whether his name appears on ballots.

There is no "suspending" in this description. He said he's staying in the race, and encouraged his voters in red and blue states to vote for him. This market was not correctly resolved.

I watched the speech. While there were more nuances than expected, he clearly encouraged his voters in swing states to vote for Trump, and I think suspending campaign, especially combined with withdrawing from swing state ballots, qualifies. That’s my take. And the WSJ’s:

Endorsed 100%

“Mr. Kennedy has not endorsed president Trump,” RFK campaign spokesperson Stefanie Spear said in a statement to the Washington Post.

I agree that it's crazy to resolve this to YES already.

That very WaPo article says he's supporting Trump. This is just a primary source and their word doesn't change reality

bought Ṁ345 YES
bought Ṁ25 NO

I think this will depend on the definition of 'endorse'.

The price was right for a small 'no' bet.
