This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the SC-05 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat 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 at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).South Carolina's 5th Congressional District, rated Solid Republican by Cook Political Report with an R+11 partisan voter index, anchors trader consensus at 89.5% for a Republican House winner, reflecting historical dominance including Donald Trump's 61% in 2024 and Rep. Ralph Norman's 63.5% victory last cycle. Norman's bid for governor opened the seat, but the March 30 filing deadline set a GOP primary field led by strong fundraiser Wes Climer ($757,000 raised, $520,000 cash on hand), dwarfing Democratic contenders like Mallory Dittmer ($80,500 raised). No polls exist, yet the partisan lean and fundraising edge sustain high Republican probabilities ahead of the June 9 primaries.
