Will the Republican Party win the MO-08 House seat?

The market is pricing in an extremely lopsided Republican advantage at 94¢, reflecting Missouri's 8th district lean, though the zero 24-hour volume and modest $18.8k open interest suggest minimal liquidity for a race 200 days out. The No side's astronomical 2860% implied yield signals severe mispricing or illiquidity rather than genuine uncertainty—this extreme skew, combined with a Cliff Risk Index of 16, indicates the market structure may not be efficiently pricing tail scenarios. With over a year until the November 2026 election, traders should expect significant price movement as the race develops and liquidity potentially improves.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the MO-08 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The midterm elections will take place on November 4, 2026. ​A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time all of the 2026 House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. A candidate without a ballot-listed affiliation to either the Democrat or Republican parties will be considered a member of one of these parties based on the party with which they most recently expressed their intent to caucus at the time all of the House elections are conclusively called by this market's resolution sources. This market will resolve based on the result of the election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the United States government, specifically the Federal Election Commission (https://www.fec.gov/).
