2 prediction markets price this story:

• Bo French & Ken Paxton — the market puts it at 1%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes only if both Bo French wins the Texas Railroad Commissioner election and Ken Paxton wins the U.S. Senate election in November 2026. It resolves to No if either candidate loses or if the results are not finalized by the deadline. Readers often mistake a projected win for an official victory, but the outcome depends on the certified election results, not early projections.
• Republican Party — the market puts it at 1%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 26 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the Republican Party controls the Texas House of Representatives after the 2026 elections. It resolves to No if they do not win that control. Readers often mistake this for a prediction about individual candidates rather than the party's overall seat count.
