What counts
The Yes outcome occurs if a Republican wins the 2026 Iowa gubernatorial election, while No applies to any other result. The market resolves only when the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC all call the race for the same candidate, or by official certification if they do not agree. Readers often mistake the linked story about Senate nominee Hinson as relevant to this specific governor race.
