The outcome is Yes if Texas has the highest Harris-minus-Trump presidential margin among all states where a Republican wins a 2026 U.S. Senate seat; otherwise, it is No. Readers often mistake this for a prediction about who will win the Senate race rather than which state has the largest Democratic presidential margin among Republican Senate winners.
- At least 2 — the market puts it at 86%, with $22 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Feb 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Democratic nominees win two or more statewide races in Texas during the November 3, 2026 general election. It resolves to No if they win fewer than two. Readers often mistake the date of the linked news story for the resolution deadline.
- Yes — resolved “Yes” on 4 Nov 2026. 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.
