The 2026 midterm elections are scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026, with congressional primaries running from March through September. This market will resolve according to the number of Republican 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.Trader consensus favors exactly two Republican Senate incumbents failing to win their primaries at 45.5% implied probability, driven primarily by vulnerable races in Texas and Louisiana. In Texas, a recent April poll shows Attorney General Ken Paxton leading incumbent Sen. John Cornyn by eight points among likely GOP primary voters ahead of the May 26 runoff, following no candidate reaching a March majority. In Louisiana, March polling has Rep. Julia Letlow ahead of incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy 31%-21% in the Republican primary, reflecting backlash against establishment figures. Sen. Lindsey Graham's position strengthened after challenger Paul Dans withdrew on April 10, leaving a weaker opponent and reducing odds for additional upsets. Other incumbents like Sens. Rick Scott and James Lankford face minimal primary threats, with upcoming state primaries through summer as key catalysts.
