Veto override at 10c offers 2087% IY on Democratic House thesis

L1 (Congress overrides Trump veto before 2027) sits at 10c with 2087% annualized yield. The election highlights confirm House control is 'likely Democratic' — a Democratic House majority is the necessary precondition for a veto override scenario. At 10c, the market is pricing a ~10% probability; if Democratic House probability is 60%+ and a contentious bill passes, the conditional probability of an override attempt is meaningfully higher. The 2087% IY is the primary signal; pair with L2 (30c, 94% IY) as the longer-duration version of the same thesis.

The 2026 midterm election markets are undergoing regime shifts with Byron Donalds dominating the Florida GOP primary, Michigan Senate heating up, and House control leaning Democratic — all creating exploitable pricing gaps between legislative power markets and their downstream effects. L1 (Congress overrides Trump veto before 2027) at 10c with 2087% IY and L5 (Insurrection Act invocation) at 24c with 734% IY are the highest-yield policy plays, both pricing extremely low probabilities that thesis edges suggest are underweighted given the current political environment.
