This quarter began with a [protracted contest](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/19243/date-mccarthy-replacement-is-elected/) for a new US Speaker of the House, and closed with an [appeal to the US Supreme Court](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/20560/trump-immunity-cert-decision-before-2024/) to fast track review of presidential immunity, and [disruptions to Red Sea shipping](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/20707/red-sea-shipping-resumes-before-2024/) caused by conflict in the Middle East. As always, we are grateful to forecasters for participating in these questions and helping shed light on significant world developments.
