One prediction market prices this story:
- At least 88% — the market puts it at 5%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Kathy Hochul receives between 88% and 100% of the popular vote in the 2026 New York gubernatorial election. It resolves to No if she receives less than 88%. Readers often mistake the deadline for the election day itself, but the resolution depends on the final certified vote count.
