Will the Republicans win the Nebraska Senate race in 2026?

The 72¢ Republican price reflects a comfortable but not overwhelming 72% win probability in a traditionally red state, though the extreme 447% implied yield on "No" signals severe asymmetry—the No side is dramatically underpriced relative to its risk, suggesting either strong Republican confidence or insufficient liquidity on the bearish side. With only $151 in 24-hour volume against $18M open interest, this market is illiquid despite the tight 1¢ spread, and the 133% realized volatility paired with a 1.58 vol ratio indicates significant price swings despite the neutral regime; the recent 2¢ decline over seven days may reflect shifting fundamentals or position unwinding. At 200 days to expiry with a low 0.7 info arrivals per hour, this appears to be a longer-dated positioning market where the No side represents a contrarian bet rather than a liquid two-way price discovery mechanism.

Resolution rules

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