Will the Democrats win the Virginia Senate race in 2026?

The market is pricing in an extremely high Democratic win probability at 93¢, yet shows zero 24-hour volume despite $20.4M in open interest, suggesting this pricing may be stale or reflect limited recent trading activity. The asymmetric implied yields—13.7% for Yes versus 2,425.6% for No—indicate severe mispricing or illiquidity on the No side, with a cliff risk index of 13 flagging potential sharp repricing if new information emerges. With nearly two years until the 2026 election, the neutral regime score and flat 7-day price action suggest the market has settled into a holding pattern, but the extreme No-side yield and minimal volume warrant caution about relying on this price as a reliable probability estimate.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 midterm Virginia 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.
