This market resolves Yes if these two markets resolve in the same direction:

/LarsDoucet/will-donald-trump-win-the-2024-us-p

/chrisjbillington/will-the-us-enter-a-recession-by-20

It resolves "No" if they resolve in opposite directions. In the case of unforeseen strangeness with the specific markets linked, I will resolve based on my own best judgement of if these two things happened or did not happen.

As of market creation, the Trump market is at 40% and the recession market is at 46%.
