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

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

The president, who was delivering speeches in Las Vegas, “is experiencing mild symptoms,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement.

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