Will the Democratic Party win the NY-08 House seat?

The Democratic Party is priced at an extremely high 93¢ probability for NY-08, reflecting the district's strong Democratic lean, though the minimal 24-hour volume of $575 and modest $24.6K open interest suggest thin liquidity that could amplify price swings. The asymmetric implied yields—13.7% for Yes versus an extraordinary 2,416.8% for No—reveal severe mispricing on the No side, likely due to the illiquidity making it difficult to establish meaningful positions betting against Democratic retention. With 201 days until the November 2026 resolution and a stable price over the past week, this market appears to be pricing in baseline expectations rather than incorporating late-breaking political developments, making it vulnerable to significant repricing if NY-08 becomes competitive.

Resolution rules

This market will resolve according to the party of the candidate who wins the NY-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/).
