This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 midterm Illinois U.S. Senate election, inclusive of any run-offs. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. 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 resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton's March 17 primary victory over Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi has solidified trader consensus at 91.5% for the Democrat in the open Illinois U.S. Senate race against Republican nominee Don Tracy, former state party chair, reflecting the state's deep Democratic lean where no GOP candidate has won since 1998. Illinois Democrats dominate with supermajorities in the state legislature and consistent double-digit presidential margins driven by Chicago's urban turnout. Absent recent general election polls since the primaries, markets align with historical base rates and party registration edges. Potential shifts could arise from a national Republican midterm wave, Democratic scandals, candidate health issues, or late fundraising surges ahead of November 3.
