Republican Senate seats after the 2026 midterm elections?
Market Description
The 2026 midterm elections are scheduled to be held on November 3, 2026. This market will resolve according to the number of seats held by the Republican Party in the US Senate as a result of the 2026 midterm elections. This market will resolve based on the results of all Senate elections, including special elections, that are scheduled to occur in November 2026 as of October 31, 2026. If a required runoff for any such election could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that runoff is conclusively called by this market’s resolution sources. If a Senate seat is vacant but a corresponding election is not held in November 2026, the seat will be considered held by the party of the seat's most recent incumbent. 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 Senate elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. 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 at the time all of the Senate elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. 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 all Senate 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.

STORY: :: August 21, 2025:: Sacramento, California:: California lawmakers advance the first two bills in Democrats' redistricting plan:: It aims to give Democrats five more Congress seats and counter a Republican redistricting plan in Texas:: Sen. Brian W. Jones (R) District 40"Now, the other interesting thing about this effort is we all know this is going to fail on the ballot. This is a loser from the beginning. So what's the win? What's the upside for all of us here on the Senate floor to go blindly along with the governor's plan here? It's going to fail, and what's the only gain? I'll tell you what the only gain is. Governor Gavin Newsom is getting more headlines, he's getting more name ID and he's creating a brand across the country so that he can run for president, and you're helping him.":: Sen. Lena Gonzalez(D) District 33"AB 604 is an urgency measure. It contains the new proposed congressional maps that will ultimately be the decision of California voters on November 4th. This bill will be in print for over 70 days. The maps will be available for insight from our voters -- and ultimately they will have the say -- and would remain in effect only until the Citizens Redistricting Commission certifies a new map of congressional districts after 2030's census maps. So these maps are temporary again for the elections of 2026, 2028, and 2030."California Democrats, led by Governor Gavin Newsom, are pushing for fast-track passage of their redistricting plan, a package of three bills, through the Sacramento statehouse by Friday (August 22), just in time to place their proposed new map on the ballot for a special election on November 4.Newsom, who enjoys a Democratic super-majority in both houses of the state legislature, ultimately seeks voter support for his plan. If it succeeds, it would neutralize a Trump-backed Texas bill designed to flip five Democratic seats to Republican control in the U.S. House of Representatives.Republicans, including Trump, have openly acknowledged that the Texas effort is about boosting their political clout by helping to preserve the party's slim House majority in the November 2026 midterm races. That election already is shaping up as closely fought.Following nearly four hours of debate, the Senate approved the Democrats' redrawn map on a party-line 30-9 vote and sent the measure to the state Assembly, the lower house of the legislature.The Assembly, meanwhile, gave its approval, 57-20, to another component of the package, a proposed constitutional amendment temporarily bypassing the bipartisan commission.
