The catch
The announcement only needs to be made, not followed by actual filing of nomination.
“An announcement by the listed individual will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they actually filed a nomination to run, or whether they actually file a nomination to run in the future.” — market rules ↗

The rules, in plain English
This market resolves to Yes if Candace Owens officially announces she is running for U.S. President in the 2028 election by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise it resolves to No. An announcement alone is enough for Yes, even if she never files nomination papers. The announcement must be explicit and unambiguous. Conditional statements, sarcasm, jokes, or statements immediately clarified as not genuine do not count. The primary source is official statements by Candace Owens (speech, social media, etc.), but a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
