Recent Democratic House primary losses have reached seven, including high-profile defeats for incumbents such as Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat in New York, Shri Thanedar in Michigan, Diana DeGette in Colorado, John Larson in Connecticut, and two in Texas amid redistricting. These outcomes reflect progressive challengers prevailing in safe districts alongside localized factors like age and district pairings. With numerous primaries still scheduled through the cycle, traders assess the total at 10-12 as the most probable range, consistent with an elevated but not unprecedented pace of turnover relative to postwar averages. Remaining contests and potential additional upsets could shift the final count within a narrow band.

This market will resolve according to the number of Democratic House incumbents who do not win their nominating election to move on to the general election as a result of the 2026 midterm primary elections.
An incumbent will be considered not to have won their election if they are not declared the winner of the election they sought, including if they withdraw, suspend, or otherwise leave the race at any point after officially registering as a candidate, regardless of the reason. Incumbents who do not officially register as candidates for reelection will not be considered.
This market will resolve based on the results of all House nominating elections, including party primaries, top-two or jungle primaries, and primaries for special elections, that are scheduled to occur between March 1 and September 30, 2026. If a required runoff for any such election or a subsequent qualifying round in a non-partisan primary system could change the market’s outcome, the market will remain open until that contest is conclusively called by this market’s resolution sources.
A candidate's party will be determined by their ballot-listed or otherwise identifiable affiliation with that party at the time of their nominating election.
Members of the House of Representatives who are "delegates” or “resident commissioners” not chosen by the people of a state are not included for purposes of resolving this market.
The resolution source for this market will be the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources have conclusively called all relevant nominating elections. If all three sources do not achieve consensus in calling the relevant races for this market, it will resolve based on official state certification of the nominating election results.
