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.Ohio's 2026 special Senate election remains tightly contested because recent polling averages show the nominees separated by just a few points, with Sherrod Brown holding modest edges in some surveys and Jon Husted leading in others. Brown's strong name recognition from prior service, combined with substantial first-quarter fundraising, sustains Democratic support in a state that has trended Republican in recent cycles. Husted benefits from incumbency as the appointee filling the vacancy and unified Republican backing after an uncontested primary. Mixed results across outlets, including a July NYT/Siena poll favoring Husted and earlier Fox and AARP surveys tilting toward Brown, reflect voter volatility ahead of the November general election. Further shifts could emerge from late-cycle advertising, turnout patterns in key regions, or national political developments influencing Ohio voters.
