Analysis
The market is pricing Comer as an overwhelming favorite at 99¢, but the extreme 1226% implied yield on the No side and zero 24-hour volume suggest thin liquidity and potential mispricing of tail risk. The 4¢ spread is notably wide for such a high-confidence outcome, and the modest 3.4% annualized yield on Yes reflects the compressed probability leaving little room for upside. With 566 days to resolution and a Cliff Risk Index of 19, there's meaningful time for political developments (primary challengers, scandals, or redistricting changes) that could shift this heavily one-sided market.
Resolution rules
If James Comer wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the 2026 KY-01 House seat, then the market resolves to Yes.
