The rules clearly specify what constitutes leaving the party, requiring either an official announcement from John Fetterman or formal departure. It explicitly excludes common edge cases, such as voting against the party, endorsing opponents, or general rhetorical criticism, unless paired with an actual exit. While resolution can rely on a consensus of credible reporting alongside official statements, the defined criteria leave little room for subjective interpretation.

Resolution rules
This market will resolve to “Yes” if John Fetterman officially announces that he is leaving, or formally leaves, the Democratic Party by December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Announcements from Fetterman that he will join the Republican Party, become an independent, join another political party, or otherwise cease to be a member of the Democratic Party will qualify. A consensus of credible reporting that Fetterman has formally left the Democratic Party will also suffice. Statements criticizing the Democratic Party, voting with Republicans, endorsing Republican candidates, describing himself as bipartisan or independent-minded, or expressing disagreement with Democratic Party positions will not qualify unless accompanied by an official announcement that he is leaving the Democratic Party or a consensus of credible reporting that he has formally left the Democratic Party. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from John Fetterman; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
