Market rules, made readable
Official descriptionHow this market is decided
The 2026 midterm elections are scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026, with congressional primaries running from March through September. This market will resolve according to the number of Democratic Senate incumbents who do not win their nominating election to move on to the general election as a result of the 2026 midterm primary elections.
An incumbent will be considered not to have won their election if they are not declared the winner of the election they sought, including if they withdraw, suspend, or otherwise leave the race at any point after officially registering as a candidate, regardless of the reason. Incumbents who do not officially register as candidates for reelection will not be considered.
Read the complete resolution rules
This market will resolve based on the results of all Senate nominating elections, including party primaries, top-two or jungle primaries, and primaries for special elections, that are scheduled to occur between March 1 and September 30, 2026.
If a required runoff for any such election or a subsequent qualifying round in a non-partisan primary system could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that contest is conclusively called by this market’s resolution sources. A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time of their nominating election.
A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democratic 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 prior to the conclusion of the relevant nominating election. The resolution source for this market will be the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC.
This market will resolve once all three sources have conclusively called all relevant nominating elections. If all three sources do not achieve consensus in calling the relevant races for this market, it will resolve based on official state certification of the nominating election results.

Significant updates
Polymarket reported a sharp 24-hour move in the “exactly three” outcome for Democratic Senate incumbents not winning their 2026 nominating elections. The Yes price moved from 30.35% to 17.10% between 2026-06-23T18:45:44.931Z and 2026-06-24T18:45:44.931Z, a decline of 13.25 percentage points. The supplied source context points to broader coverage of incumbents losing primaries and Democratic socialist primary wins, but those snippets do not directly establish a cause for this specific Senate-incumbent market move. The most defensible read is that traders appeared to reprice the likelihood of exactly three Democratic Senate incumbent nominating losses lower during the window, while adjacent outcomes remained part of the same event structure.
What changed
Yes on exactly three Democratic Senate incumbents not winning their primaries dropped 13.25 points, from 30.35% to 17.10%, over the supplied 24-hour window.
What to watch next
