Trader consensus heavily favors seven Republican senators not seeking re-election in the 2026 midterms at 61%, reflecting verified announcements from exactly that number amid a record wave of GOP retirements. Oklahoma Sen. Alan Armstrong's March 24 announcement—citing a desire to pass the torch—pushed the total to seven, following Montana Sen. Steve Daines' surprise withdrawal on March 4 just before filing deadlines. Earlier exits include Kentucky's Mitch McConnell (February 2025), North Carolina's Thom Tillis (June 2025), Iowa's Joni Ernst (September 2025), Wyoming's Cynthia Lummis (December 2025), and Alabama's Tommy Tuberville running for governor (May 2025). With primaries approaching and most Class II filing periods closed, traders see low odds for more departures, pricing six or five at around 11% each.

This market will resolve according to the total number of Republican members of the U.S. Senate 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 Senate 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.
