This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 Ohio U.S. Senate special election currently scheduled for November 3, 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.The close trader consensus on the 2026 Ohio special Senate election reflects a toss-up dynamic between appointed Republican incumbent Jon Husted and former Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown. Recent polling averages show Brown holding a narrow lead of 1-4 points in surveys from Fox News and Beacon Research, though several others place the candidates within the margin of error. Ohio’s partisan balance, Brown’s established name recognition from prior Senate service, and Husted’s appointment following JD Vance’s elevation have kept the race competitive. Heavy outside spending, shifting union endorsements, and contrasting campaign messages on state versus national priorities continue to shape voter assessments ahead of the November 3 contest.
