3 prediction markets price this story:

• Texas — the market puts it at 1%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if Democrats win the Texas Class II Senate seat while simultaneously losing the Alaska Class II, Iowa Class II, and Ohio Class III seats for the term starting in 2027. The outcome is No if any of those other three races result in a Democratic victory. Readers often mistake the Ohio race deadline, which applies to the 2027 term, as the immediate election date.
• Will the Democrats win the Texas governor race in 2026? — the market puts it at 23%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 4 Nov 2026. The Yes outcome occurs if the Democratic nominee wins the 2026 Texas gubernatorial election. The No outcome applies if any other candidate wins or if the race remains uncalled by all resolution sources until official certification.
• Yes — the market puts it at 70%, with $460 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 2 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if a Democrat wins any statewide election in Texas during 2026. The outcome is No if no Democrat wins such an office in that year. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it applies to the nomination period rather than the actual election date.
