- Will Democrats win the Mississippi and South Carolina Senate seats, and Republicans win Montana?60¢60%
- Will Republicans win the Mississippi and Montana Senate seats, and Democrats win South Carolina?13¢13%
Mississippi's unresolved Senate contest between Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith and Democrat Scott Colom remains the decisive factor behind the tight trader pricing on these combinations, as South Carolina's Democratic flip to Annie Andrews and Montana's Republican hold by Kurt Alme are largely settled. Post-election tabulation shows Mississippi separated by only a few hundred votes out of nearly one million cast, with early returns and limited late polls reflecting a near-even split that keeps both party-outcome pairings in close contention. Certification timelines, remaining absentee and provisional ballot counts, and any potential recount procedures could shift the implied probabilities in either direction before final resolution.
Rules
This market will resolve according to the outcome of the United States Senate general elections in Mississippi, South Carolina, and Montana that are currently scheduled for November 3, 2026, inclusive of any potential runoffs. A candidate will be considered to represent a party by their ballot-listed affiliation or if they are the nominee of that party. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party. The Montana race is represented by “Republican” and “Independent” (Ind) options. The “Independent” option refers to a win by a candidate running as an independent in the Montana Senate election. For purposes of this market, Seth Bodnar will be considered to be an Independent regardless of any affiliation that he may have with any party. If the results of one of these elections are not conclusively known by March 31, 2027, or if an independent or third-party candidate wins the Mississippi or South Carolina election, or the Democratic nominee or a third-party candidate wins the Montana election, this market will resolve to "Other". For purposes of this market, a "sweep" is when a party wins all races. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources have conclusively called the relevant elections. If all three sources do not achieve consensus in calling the relevant races for this market, it will resolve based on the official certification.
