Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors 6 or 7 Republican senators from Class 2 seats declining 2026 re-election bids, with those outcomes nearly tied at 37.5% and 38.5% implied probabilities. This closeness stems from 5 confirmed retirements to date—including recent announcements by Sens. Jim Risch (Idaho) and others amid post-2024 GOP Senate control—while traders weigh prospects for 1-2 more from aging incumbents like Sens. John Cornyn (Texas, 73), Bill Cassidy (Louisiana, 67), and Lindsey Graham (South Carolina, 70), who face no immediate pressure but signal typical cycle attrition. Dynamics stay tight absent cluster announcements; separation could arise from high-profile retirements in safe seats or ahead of filing deadlines in early 2026.

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.
