The 2026 State of the Union Address Breaks Record for Duration, Polymarket Betting Account Nails It
BlockBeats News, February 25, 2026: The length of the State of the Union Address in the United States officially exceeded 100 minutes, setting a new historical record. The previous record was set by Bill Clinton in 2000 (89 minutes), while Donald Trump's longest State of the Union Address was in 2019 at 82 minutes.
Of note, on the prediction market Polymarket, an account with a high 86% win rate in the politics category previously wagered $9,000 on "The 2026 State of the Union Address will reach or exceed 100 minutes." Before the outcome was revealed, the probability of this option was only 42%. With the confirmation of the address lasting over 100 minutes, the above bet was successful.
