One prediction market prices this story:
- Republican Party — the market puts it at 20%, with $154 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Republicans control more state governorships than Democrats after the 2026 midterm elections. It resolves to No if Democrats hold an equal or greater number of governorships. Readers often mistake this for a national popular vote count rather than a specific tally of state executive offices.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
