The 2026 midterm elections are scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the number of seats held by the Republican Party in the US House of Representatives as a result of the 2026 midterm elections. This market will resolve based on the results of all US House of Representatives elections, including special elections, that are scheduled to occur in November 2026 as of October 31, 2026. If a required runoff for any such election could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that runoff is conclusively called by this market’s resolution sources. A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources have conclusively called all US House of Representatives elections. If all three sources do not achieve consensus in calling the relevant races for this market, it will resolve based on the official certification.Trader consensus favors Democrats netting substantial gains in the 2026 midterm elections, pricing below 190 Republican House seats at 35% and 190-194 at 25%, reflecting a persistent Democratic edge on the generic congressional ballot averaging +5.5 as of early April per Nate Silver's model. This stems from historical midterm penalties for the president's party—Republicans hold a slim 217-214 majority amid low Trump approval ratings around -17, 55% opposition to the ongoing Iran conflict, surging gas prices above $4, and rising mortgage rates. Recent state legislative setbacks for Republicans and forecasters identifying 26 vulnerable GOP-held districts in battleground areas like swing states further erode defenses, with early polling stable and no major shifts in the past week. Primary season and economic trends ahead of November 3 could tip the balance in this closely contested environment.
