Traders' 80.5% implied probability on "No" for Zohran Mamdani's 2% millionaire tax passing before 2027 stems from the bill's (A.8695) referral to the Assembly Ways and Means Committee in May 2024 with no further action amid the session's end. New York's Democratic supermajority legislature passed its 2024-25 budget without the tax hike, reflecting Governor Hochul's resistance to income tax increases on high earners to maintain business competitiveness. Mamdani's November 2024 "Tax the Rich" rally highlighted progressive demands, but moderate Democrats in leadership, including Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, prioritize fiscal caution. The 2025 session offers a window, yet historical hurdles for similar wealth taxes sustain trader skepticism on timely enactment.

Zohran Mamdani has proposed adding a flat 2% tax on New York City residents earning above $1,000,000 annually. You can read more about that here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/14-aM9DKG337SDMilmfQtLRR-pDwyWSTc/view
This market will resolve to “Yes” if both the following occur:
1. Zohran Mamdani wins the 2025 NYC Mayoral election.
2. A policy is enacted in New York City before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, which would establish a tax increase of 2% or more targeting individuals, households, or family units with an income of at least $1 million (USD or equivalent).
When the proposed tax goes into effect (e.g., if a qualifying tax is enacted for the 2028 fiscal year) will have no bearing on this market's resolution, so long as the policy has actually been enacted within this market's timeframe.
The policy will be considered to have been enacted if a local or state law is passed, or mayoral executive order is issued which will bring the stated tax into effect within the specified timeframe. The introduction, proposal, or announcement of such a policy without legal enactment will not qualify.
Policies which include limited exceptions—such as such as exceptions for specific families, asset classes, etc.—will still qualify as long as a general tax as described is enacted.
If Mamdani is confirmed to have lost the 2025 NYC Mayoral election by a consensus of credible reporting, or if the stated terms are not satisfied within this market's timeframe, this market will immediately resolve to “No”.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
