This market will resolve to "Yes" if Donald Trump as President of the United States formally nominates Matt Gaetz for Attorney General by January 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Formal nominations are defined as the submission of a nomination message to the U.S. Senate. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US Senate (see: https://www.senate.gov/legislative/nominations_new.htm) however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
By the way, Matt saying he has withdrawn doesn't mean he can't still be formally nominated.
How can this be resolved? The rules clearly state 2 resolution conditions: Either Trump as president nominates Gaetz, or we reach the deadling of January 31st. Neither of these have happened, so this market is to remain open. Granted, it's very unlikely Gaetz is nominated, but that has nothing to do with the rules. Closing this early is a total scam. Polymarket has no respect for its own rules
Polymarket has an dumb resolution system. There's a way to dispute to request more time, but someone has to post a large bond in a short time window. If you had posted the bond to request more time, you might have been rewarded... or UMA might have taken the bond if they didn't agree.
Nominated he was, right?
Nominated by Trump "as president." Trump isn't president yet, so the nomination doesn't count yet. However, the market should remain open until January 31st, as specified in the rules.
That was not the bet, was if he would to be formally nominated. Which he has so should be Yes
"Formal nominations are defined as the submission of a nomination message to the U.S. Senate."
Because Matt Gaetz has withdrawn from consideration for Attorney General, this market should resolve to "No”. So what? This is about if he is nominated, which he was. [link removed]
What? [link removed]
i don't have funds to dispute, but there is enough chance that things will change and Gaetz will be nominated before Jan 31 to leave this market open..

Oh my god a new york times article? It's so over
That's right Mr. Trump has a zero tolerance policy on that... I mean he still hasn't drumpe
Easy money??
Hmmm, Trump seems pretty confident about this tho
So recess appointment is a NO?
Appointment/confirmation doesn't matter. This market is for the nomimation only, i.e. whether on not Trump actually does it after he's inaugurated.
He already done it lmao
whats going o here
But not as President. 100% would not be realistic at this stage.
saying you are gonna nominate someone and doing it are two different things
Has he indeed?
