- Will the Republican Party win the TN-09 House seat?80¢80%
- Will the Democratic Party win the TN-09 House seat?20¢20%
Redistricting by Tennessee Republicans in May 2026 transformed the Memphis-area TN-09 into a Republican-leaning seat after incumbent Democrat Steve Cohen retired, shifting its presidential lean dramatically toward the GOP. Republican nominee Brent Taylor secured the primary with an endorsement from President Trump and has emphasized public safety, immigration enforcement, and data-center regulations, aligning with the district's new voter base. Democrat Justin Pearson, who won his primary, focuses on gun safety and healthcare but trails in forecaster ratings that classify the race as safely or likely Republican. A September internal poll showed Taylor ahead by four points, and early voting through late October has not altered the trader consensus reflected in current pricing. Election Day is November 3.
Rules
This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the TN-09 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 3, 2026. A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
