Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 13 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This market asks whether Bernie Sanders will publicly endorse Antonio Delgado for New York governor before Election Day 2026. At 31% probability, the market suggests it's unlikely but plausible. Sanders has a history of selective endorsements in gubernatorial races, often backing candidates aligned with his progressive platform. Delgado, the current New York Lieutenant Governor, would need to secure Sanders' support through demonstrated policy alignment or a formal request. The divergence between venues (Kalshi at 33%, Polymarket at 24%) reflects genuine uncertainty about Sanders' endorsement strategy in 2026. The main factor driving this probability is whether Delgado emerges as the clear progressive candidate in New York's race and actively seeks Sanders' backing. Key uncertainty centers on whether Sanders will focus his limited endorsement capital on federal races versus state contests. Resolution will occur either through Sanders making an explicit public endorsement or the election passing without one.

Key factors:
- Sanders has endorsed selectively in gubernatorial races; his 2022 pattern and 2026 priorities remain unclear
- Delgado's positioning as a progressive candidate and whether he actively pursues Sanders' endorsement
- The competitive structure of the 2026 New York gubernatorial race and whether it attracts Sanders' involvement
- Sanders' overall endorsement bandwidth in 2026, given potential focus on federal Senate or presidential races
- Public statements or campaign communications from Delgado's team indicating pursuit of high-profile progressive endorsements

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
