This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the SC-01 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The Republican primary will take place on June 9, 2026. If no nominee is announced by November 3, 2026, 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Republican sources, including https://www.rnc.org/. Any replacement of the nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.Mark Smith holds a clear edge in trader consensus for the SC-01 Republican primary as state Rep. Smith captured top spots in recent GOP straw polls, including 34.1% at an April 17 district forum and a win in this week's Beaufort County GOP poll, signaling strong grassroots momentum among Lowcountry Republican voters ahead of the June 9 primary. Afghanistan veteran Alex Pelbath placed second in the forum poll, bolstering his position in a fragmented field of over 10 candidates vying for the open seat vacated by Rep. Nancy Mace's gubernatorial bid. No major endorsements or comprehensive polls have emerged in the past week to shift dynamics, keeping the race competitive with support dispersed among challengers like Sam McCown and Jay Byars, while upcoming forums and fundraising reports could further influence probabilities.
