Trader consensus heavily favors zero Democratic Senate incumbents losing their primaries (78.5%), driven by the formidable incumbency advantage in low-turnout contests and a lack of viable challengers across the 13 seats up in 2026, including those held by Mark Kelly in Arizona, John Hickenlooper in Colorado, and Chris Coons in Delaware. No incumbents have been upset in early primaries like Texas (an open-seat race where Rep. Jasmine Crockett fell to state Rep. James Talarico on March 4), and first-quarter fundraising reports through mid-April underscore incumbents' financial dominance. Recent March contests signaled general primary volatility but spared Senate Democrats, with upcoming June primaries in California and elsewhere showing incumbents leading in early polls amid party unity pressures. A single upset remains plausible (30.1%) if progressive challengers gain traction in states like Maine or Illinois.

This market will resolve according to the number of Democratic Senate incumbents who do not win their nominating election to move on to the general election as a result of the 2026 midterm primary elections.
An incumbent will be considered not to have won their election if they are not declared the winner of the election they sought, including if they withdraw, suspend, or otherwise leave the race at any point after officially registering as a candidate, regardless of the reason. Incumbents who do not officially register as candidates for reelection will not be considered.
This market will resolve based on the results of all Senate nominating elections, including party primaries, top-two or jungle primaries, and primaries for special elections, that are scheduled to occur between March 1 and September 30, 2026. If a required runoff for any such election or a subsequent qualifying round in a non-partisan primary system could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that contest 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 of their nominating election. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democratic or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus prior to the conclusion of the relevant nominating election.
The resolution source for this market will be the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources have conclusively called all relevant nominating elections. If all three sources do not achieve consensus in calling the relevant races for this market, it will resolve based on official state certification of the nominating election results.
