2026 Midterms: House Popular Vote Winner on Polymarket US
This market will settle to Yes if the Republican Party receives the most valid votes for U.S. Representative of any party in the 2026 United States Midterm Election. Outcome sourced from the United States Clerk of the House. Party vote totals will be inclusive of all votes for the partys candidates for U.S. Representative (excluding votes for Delegates and the Resident Commissioner), as reflected in the certified results from the United States Clerk of the House.

Resting (maker) orders pay nothing; orders that take liquidity pay the fee. Formula: 9.5% × price × (1 − price) per share on orders that take liquidity (accounts under $10,000 of 30-day volume; 6.95% in a new account's first week and above $250,000). Break-even assumes you hold to settlement; trading out early pays the fee twice.
