This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 midterm Minnesota U.S. Senate election, inclusive of any run-offs. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.Incumbent Sen. Tina Smith's retirement has opened Minnesota's Senate seat, but the state's Democratic lean—evident in 2024 presidential results (Harris 51%-47%) and no Republican Senate win since 2002—drives trader consensus to a 90% implied probability for the Democratic nominee. Recent Emerson College polling (Feb. 6-8) shows Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (47%) and Rep. Angie Craig (47%) both leading presumptive GOP frontrunner Michele Tafoya (40-41%) among likely voters, with 12-13% undecided. Flanagan's poll lead and endorsements (from Gov. Walz, Smith) contrast Craig's fundraising edge ($9.3M raised vs. $4.6M as of March 31), amid primary tensions like April 11 DFL convention backlash against Craig. The crowded GOP primary dilutes resources ahead of the August 11 contest, though national midterm dynamics could shift odds.
