This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the SC-01 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The Republican primary will take place on June 9, 2026. If no nominee is announced by November 3, 2026, 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Republican sources, including https://www.rnc.org/. Any replacement of the nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.The June 9 Republican primary for South Carolina's open 1st Congressional District produced no majority winner among 11 candidates, sending the top two—Charleston County Councilwoman Jenny Costa Honeycutt (22%) and state Representative Mark Smith (18%)—into a June 23 runoff. Smith holds a modest edge in current trader pricing, consistent with his established state legislative record and business background, while Honeycutt benefits from strong local name recognition and emphasis on affordability and fiscal issues. A crowded field fragmented support for others including Sam McCown and Alex Pelbath, who were eliminated. The upcoming in-studio runoff debate and turnout patterns in the Lowcountry district remain the primary variables that could shift implied probabilities before resolution.
