Trader consensus leans toward 36-39 Republican House members opting out of 2026 bids at 43.4%, aligning with historical midterm averages for the majority party, where 30-40 retirements often materialize amid slim majorities and district pressures. Only about a dozen GOP incumbents have announced non-candidacies so far, including recent retirements from veterans like Reps. [e.g., specific if data], but traders factor in pending disclosures driven by age demographics (over 50% of GOP members over 60), post-2020 map competitiveness, and early cycle momentum. The 40-43 range at 20.5% gains from upticks in announcements last month, while 28-31 lags below recent precedents like 2024's eventual 20+ GOP exits. Filing deadlines in mid-2026 could shift odds further.

This market will resolve according to the total number of Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives who are considered to be retiring or not seeking reelection in 2026.
For the purposes of this market, a member may be considered not to seek reelection if:
• They publicly announce they are retiring from Congress and will not run for reelection to their current seat
• They choose to run for a different elected office in 2026 instead of running for reelection to their current seat
• They do not seek their party’s nomination for reelection to their current seat, meaning they neither file for reelection nor participate in their party’s nominating process (such as a primary, convention, or caucus)
Only members whose current term is scheduled to end with the 2026 regular election for the House may qualify for this market.
This market will not resolve until after the relevant final 2026 candidate filing deadline has passed in all states, which is expected to occur in late August 2026.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
