Will the Republicans win the Michigan governor race in 2026?

The 21¢ price reflects a heavily bearish outlook on Republican prospects in Michigan's 2026 gubernatorial race, with the "No" side commanding an 79% implied probability. The extreme 687% implied yield on the "Yes" side combined with minimal 24-hour volume of $10.4 and a moderate $34.6K open interest suggests this is a thin, speculative market where the low liquidity may exaggerate the Republican underdog odds. The 670% realized volatility and 2.98 vol ratio indicate substantial price swings despite the flat 7-day movement, signaling either episodic sentiment shifts or positioning by a small number of traders in an illiquid contract.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 Michigan gubernatorial election. 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.
