Prediction market on polymarket_us. This market will settle to Yes if the Democratic Party's seat count in the U.S. House of Representatives is greater than or equal to 218 and the Democratic Party's seat count in the United States Senate is greater than or equal to 49 as a result of the 2026 United States midterm election scheduled for November 3, 2026. Outcome sourced from relevant state electoral authorities, the United States House of Representatives, and the United States Senate. For determining Senate seat counts, all regular and special Senate elections that determine representation in the upcoming 120th Congress and are scheduled to take place in November 2026 as of October 31, 2026 are included. Vacant Senate seats for which no election or special election to fill the seat is scheduled to take place in November 2026 as of October 31, 2026 will be treated as held by the party affiliation of the most recent member to hold that seat. For determining House seat counts, all House elections in the 2026 United States midterm election that elect voting members and determine representation in the upcoming 120th Congress are included. Where a Senate or House seat is decided by a runoff, the runoff result will determine attribution of that seat, even if it takes place after November 2026. For seats contested in the specified election, seats are attributed to the party under which the member was elected. If a member-elect changes party affiliation, or vacates their seat, between election day and the formal organization of Congress, the seat is attributed to the party under which the member was elected. For seats not contested in the specified election, seats are attributed to the party that holds the seat as of the date of the election. If a current sitting member of the U.S. Senate who is not up for election changes party affiliation or vacates their seat after the date of the election, the seat is attributed to the party under which the member was affiliated at the time of the election. Senate and House members elected as independents who formally caucus with, or, for newly elected members, who announce their intent to caucus with, a party are included in that partys count. If the caucus decisions of members of the Senate or House elected as independents cannot be determined on the date of the election, this market may remain open until the earlier of (i) an announcement from the relevant members of their intents to caucus, or (ii) January 4th, 11:59 PM ET of the following calendar year. If no such announcement is made by January 4th, 11:59 PM ET of the following calendar year, the member will not count towards the seat count of any party. Note: This market settles based on the outcomes of the constituent listed Polymarket US Contracts, namely the "2026 Midterms: Democratic House Seats?" (218+) & "2026 Midterms: Democratic Senate Seats?" (49+) Contracts.
