As of 30 October 2026, 08:56 UTC, versus prices Yes at a 66% chance and No at 34%.
YES only if the 2026 midterm elections leave Democrats with at least 235 voting seats in the U.S. House and at least 51 seats in the U.S. Senate; otherwise NO. Count every regular and special Senate election that, as of 31 October 2026, is set to be held in November 2026 and decides a seat in the 120th Congress; a vacant Senate seat with no such November 2026 election scheduled as of that date counts for the party of its most recent holder. Count all House elections in the 2026 midterms that choose voting members of the 120th Congress. Where a seat is settled in a runoff, the runoff result decides that seat, even when the runoff takes place after November 2026. A contested seat belongs to the party under which its member was elected; a member-elect's later party change or vacancy before Congress formally organizes does not change that attribution. A seat not contested in 2026 counts for the party holding it on election day, including when a sitting senator who is not up for election later changes party or leaves. A member elected as an independent counts for a party only if they formally caucus with it or, for a newly elected member, announce an intent to caucus with it; if this is unknown on election day, the prediction waits for such an announcement or until 4 January 2027 at 11:59 PM ET, whichever comes first, and a member with no announcement by then counts for no party. Official information from state election authorities and the U.S. Congress decides, together with broad agreement among reliable reporting.
