The broader contagion data (C5, C6 showing Republican safe seats unchanged) confirms GOP base is holding while Democratic seats are repricing lower. At 46¢, TX-15 Democrat is priced as a true toss-up; the regime shift suggests smart money is backing away from the Democratic side. Buy NO on TX-15 Democrat at 46¢ — 54¢ of upside to zero for a binary that leans Republican structurally.","conviction":"medium","direction":"buy_no","markets":[{"theme":"US House Race Contagion Gaps Screaming Mispricing","title":"Will Democratic win the House race for TX-15?: Bobby Pulido","venue":"kalshi","ticker":"HOUSETX15-26-D","checkDate":"2026-08-04","currentPrice":46,"quantSignals":{"iyPct":85,"regime":"CRI 1.2","edgeCents":6,"spreadCents":13,"contagionGap":86,"crossVenueGap":null},"outcomeTarget":"TX-15 Democrat resolves NO; R1 price falls below 30¢","themeNarrative":"NY-22 Democrat at 84¢ is the anchor price in a cluster of correlated House race markets, yet multiple trigger markets have sold off 70-77 points while NY-22 has barely moved — creating contagion gaps of 85-90 points.
