A GOP Presidential debate will be held on November 8, 2023.

This market resolves to YES if businessman Vivek Ramaswamy wins the debate, according to CNN.com. Otherwise, it resolves to NO.

The most prominently featured article about the debate, linked from the homepage and posted the day after its conclusion, will be used as reference. "Live updates" about the debate are excluded. If the article covers "5 winners and 5 losers" or something similar, then Ramaswamy must be listed first (or last, if the order is counting down) in the list of winners. As long as he is referred to as the sole or the most prominent winner, the reason is irrelevant, even if all he did was meet expectations.

If CNN does not post any articles about the debate on the day after the debate, if none of the articles about the debate offer an opinion as to who won or lost, or if the debate is cancelled, then the market resolves to N/A. A lack of articles or opinions is the ONLY grounds for N/A; attendance or campaign suspension is not relevant.

When the time of the debate is announced, this market's close date will be changed to 11:59:59pm of the day after the debate. If the debate is postponed until November, this market's title will be changed but it will still be valid for the third debate in the cycle.

NOTE: By these criteria, Nikki Haley was the winner of the August 23, 2023 debate and, if such a market had existed, that market would have resolved to YES.

RESOLUTION: While the winner of the debate is hard to determine, it is clear that it was not Ramaswamy. None of the CNN commentators referred to Ramaswamy in a positive light; in fact, most of the commentary regarding him was criticism. One commentator called for him to leave the race. Therefore, this market resolves to NO.
