This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the SC-01 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The Republican primary will take place on June 9, 2026. If no nominee is announced by November 3, 2026, 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Republican sources, including https://www.rnc.org/. Any replacement of the nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.State Rep. Mark Smith commands 66.5% trader consensus to win South Carolina's 1st Congressional District Republican primary on June 9, driven by his April 16 GOP forum straw poll victory at 34.1% among local Republican voters in Summerville, outpacing Alex Pelbath's 29.5%. Smith's incumbency in the state House (District 99), prior Mount Pleasant council service, and Lowcountry business ownership bolster his grassroots edge in the open primary's crowded field of over 10 candidates, fragmenting opposition and raising his odds of avoiding a June 23 runoff. Pelbath trails at 14% on his Air Force veteran credentials and Kabul evacuation narrative, while others like Jay Byars and Jenny Honeycutt lag amid steady fundraising leads for Smith ($548K cash on hand as of late March). No recent polls or major endorsements have shifted the race.
