One prediction market prices this story:
- Derrick Van Orden — resolved “No” on 4 Nov 2026. The market resolves to Yes if the person elected to represent Wisconsin's 3rd congressional district in the 2026 election and sworn in for the term starting in 2027 is a Republican. The outcome depends on the party affiliation of the individual holding that specific seat, not the candidate who filed the lawsuit or won the primary.
Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
