Resolves YES if Biden is admitted to a hospital before August 1, 2024 and stays overnight. Otherwise NO.

(For reference, the reason this is asking about August 2024 is because that's when the Democratic National Convention is held, i.e. when the nominee is chosen.)

Elaboration of resolution criteria

Medical care at a hospital without an overnight stay would not count as YES.

If Biden is admitted on the last day of July and stays overnight through August 1, that counts as YES.

Examples that count as hospitalization for this question:

predicts NO

Many medical issues can be treated at the White House, and he appears to be in decent physical health for his age.

bought Ṁ30 of YES

This market seems underpriced even still. Hes an 80 year old man in poor health

predicts YES

@MarcusAbramovitch yeah it's sad how in denial the dumbocrats are about their marionette POTUS... historically unpopular, generally incoherent, and possibly corrupt. This is the mediocrity that TDS delivers.

predicts YES

@AlQuinn I'm not making a partisan statement. Biden is just very clearly old. Old people often go to the hospital, often overnight.

predicts YES

@MarcusAbramovitch understood, but my point is about how Manifold is dominated by coastal (SF, NYC) people who should be expected to systematically misjudge certain probabilities based on their biases. That's why I'm betting against Biden '24 across the board

predicts YES

@AlQuinn fair. But if you want to make that point, don't use the word "dumbocrats"

predicts NO

Is it intentional that this market closes April 30?

@AaronLehmann Nope, thanks, fixed - wrong AI generated date

@jack Market closes August 2023, title/description says August 2024?

predicts NO
