This market will resolve to “Yes” if any incumbent member of the US House of Representatives loses a Democratic primary for re-election to their House seat in the upcoming Illinois primary elections, scheduled for March 17, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Only losses by incumbents who participate in the primary as a formal and current candidate will count. Incumbents choosing not to run for re-election, withdrawing before the primary, being removed from the ballot before voting begins, or otherwise not participating in the primary as a candidate will not count. The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Democrat sources, including https://democrats.org/; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.In the March 17, 2026, Illinois Democratic U.S. House primaries, all incumbents seeking renomination prevailed decisively where challenged, including Rep. Sean Casten (IL-6, 76% over Joey Ruzevich), Rep. Mike Quigley (IL-5, 65% over Matt Conroy), Rep. Brad Schneider (IL-10, 79% over Morgan Coghill), Rep. Nikki Budzinski (IL-13, 76% over Dylan Blaha), and uncontested wins for Reps. Jonathan Jackson (IL-1), Delia Ramirez (IL-3), Bill Foster (IL-11), Lauren Underwood (IL-14), and Eric Sorensen (IL-17). Amid several open seats from retirements like Robin Kelly (IL-2) and Jan Schakowsky (IL-9), trader consensus holds evenly at 50% for "No" due to low-volume trading and pending official certification by state election authorities or Democratic sources, which could prompt resolution soon; late canvass disputes or procedural holds remain possible tipping points.
