3 prediction markets price this story:

• 2 — the market puts it at 95%, with $6 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 13 May 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Democrats win two seats in the 2026 U.S. House of Representatives elections in South Carolina. It resolves to No otherwise. Readers often mistake the linked story about North and South Carolina Senate races for the relevant event, but only the 2026 House election results in South Carolina matter.
• Democratic party — the market puts it at 70%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Nov 2029. The outcome is Yes if a Democrat is sworn in as a U.S. Senator from North Carolina for the term starting in 2029. The outcome is No if that specific condition is not met. Readers often mistake the date of election victory for the resolution deadline, but only the swearing-in date matters.
• North Carolina — the market puts it at 1%, with $4k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if North Carolina has the largest Trump-to-Harris vote margin among all states where Democrats win a Senate seat in 2026. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake this for a prediction of which party wins the Senate overall rather than a comparison of presidential margins in specific states.
