This market asks whether the person ultimately elected and certified as president for the 2028 term will be a woman, not merely whether a woman wins a nomination or leads an early poll. The field remains unsettled: no major-party candidate has formally launched, Democratic polling is fragmented, and the Republican field is currently dominated by men. Recent general-election tests are mixed, with Harris beating Vance but losing to Rubio and AOC trailing both, while external sentiment places the overall chance of a woman winning at about 22%. I therefore anchor the quote at 22; the main upside comes from Harris or AOC emerging as the Democratic nominee, while the unsettled Democratic field and strong prospective male Republican contenders keep the probability well below even odds.
An August 16–17 survey found Buttigieg leading either Republican by five points; Harris led Vance but trailed Rubio, underscoring uncertainty in the eventual general-election field.
