Updated 2026-07-28 19:37:39 UTC

Tracks the leading outcome in a winner-take-all prediction market set with 3 outcomes.

Why this matters:
This contract reflects the probability that Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego leaves office before June 1, 2026—roughly 29 days from today. The 14% probability suggests market participants view an unexpected departure as unlikely but not negligible. Gallego took office in January 2025 after his 2024 election victory, so early departure would require either resignation, death, or removal. The main drivers of this probability are his recent Senate accession (making sudden exit unusual), his political viability as a newly elected Democrat in a competitive state, and any unforeseen personal or health circumstances. The timeframe is extremely tight, leaving minimal window for major developments. Resolution depends entirely on whether Gallego remains in office through May 31, 2026, with no scheduled event or data release creating obvious catalysts for change.

Key factors:
- Gallego assumed office in January 2025 with no public indication of health problems or plans to resign
- The 29-day window to June 1, 2026 provides minimal time for typical political or personal events to trigger departure
- Related Kalshi contracts show much lower probabilities for other senators leaving office (McConnell at 3% through July, Gallego staying in House at 6% through July)
- Market volume is low, suggesting limited arbitrage activity or specialized information among traders
- Departure would require resignation, medical emergency, or removal—none of which have visible precursors in current reporting

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
