3 prediction markets price this story:

• Jon Ossoff, ≥20% — the market puts it at 1%, closing 3 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if Jon Ossoff wins the 2026 Georgia Senate election by a margin of at least 20%. The outcome is No if his winning margin is less than 20% or if he loses. Readers often mistake the linked story about Democrats winning key races for the resolution, but only the specific vote margin in the 2026 Senate race determines the result.
• Democratic party — the market puts it at 72%, with $456 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 7 Nov 2029. A Democrat must be sworn in as a U.S. Senator from Georgia for the term starting in 2029 for the outcome to be Yes. The current news about Ossoff and Jackson does not determine the result because their terms do not align with the specified 2029 start date. Readers often mistake the immediate winner of an election for the final resolver, but only the official swearing-in for the correct term counts.
• Ossoff, 10+ pts — the market puts it at 99%, with $11 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 3 Nov 2027. The outcome is Yes if the Democratic Party wins the first round of the 2026 U.S. Senate election in Georgia by a margin of at least 10 percentage points. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked story about a potential 2028 presidential bid as the relevant event, but only the specific 2026 Senate election results matter.
