Once the original resolves, its resolution will be applied to this market automatically. Trustworthy-ish users are encouraged to resolve this market before then if the outcome is known and unambiguous. Feel free to ping @jskf to request early resolution or to report issues.
Hmmm. Historically, it seems that Time has always featured the President-elect even if it was for a second term, but they have not always done so in the year of the election. This could go either way.
@DanielParker For what it’s worth, the last time the President-elect was not Person of the Year was 1996. I think if Trump wins, it’s a no brainer Person of the Year given him as a character & Project 2025. If Biden wins, maybe it’s a little more iffy? That’s my reading of it.
