3 prediction markets price this story:

  • Alaska — the market puts it at 63%, with $189 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the winner of the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Alaska wins by a margin of 5 percentage points or less. The outcome depends strictly on the final certified vote count for that specific race. Readers often mistake this for any general election result in Alaska rather than just the Senate contest.
  • 2 — the market puts it at 18%, closing 1 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if the official ranked-choice voting count for the 2026 Alaska Senate election finishes in exactly two rounds. It resolves to No if the count requires more than two rounds or fewer than two rounds. Readers often mistake the date of the final certification for the deadline, but the resolution depends strictly on the number of tabulation rounds in the official result.
  • Alaska — the market puts it at 11%, closing 1 Jan 2029. The outcome is Yes if Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin meet in Alaska for the first time after their scheduled August 15, 2025 encounter, and that meeting occurs before January 1, 2029. The outcome is No if they do not meet in Alaska within that timeframe or if their first post-August 2025 meeting takes place elsewhere.

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.
