Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 3 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This represents the market's assessment that Trump will make a specific endorsement—likely in an upcoming political context. The 64% probability suggests traders view the endorsement as more probable than not, based on Trump's historical pattern of public statements and his current political activity. The probability is driven by the frequency and timing of Trump's recent public communications, visible through his Truth Social posts and media appearances. The main uncertainty centers on whether he will make the particular endorsement being tested before a specific deadline, and what political events or developments might trigger or delay it. The single biggest catalyst would be any major political announcement, campaign event, or shift in political circumstances that would prompt Trump to issue a public endorsement.

Key factors:
- Trump's Truth Social posting frequency in the past 30 days compared to historical baseline
- Whether a specific triggering political event (primary election, candidate announcement, or party development) has occurred or is imminent
- The resolution criteria's specificity: whether the endorsement must name a particular candidate or fall within a defined time window
- Volume and implied confidence levels across related Trump-action contracts suggesting coordinated trader expectations
- Any public statements from Trump or his associates indicating his likelihood to make endorsements in the near term
