3 prediction markets price this story:

• Republican party — the market puts it at 69%, closing 7 Nov 2029. The outcome is Yes if a Republican senator takes office in Alaska for the term starting in 2029. The outcome is No otherwise. Readers often mistake the election date for the swearing-in date, but only the official oath-taking matters.
• Republican Governor, Democratic Senator — the market puts it at 4%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the next governor of Alaska is a Republican and the next U.S. Senator from Alaska is a Democrat. It resolves to No if either condition fails. Readers often mistake the linked story about Lisa Murkowski for the resolution criteria, but her party affiliation does not determine the outcome.
• Lisa Murkowski — the market puts it at 29%, closing 1 Jan 2028. The outcome is Yes if Lisa Murkowski votes in favor of Kari Lake for US Ambassador to Jamaica before January 1, 2028. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the deadline or the specific role for which she must vote.
