Progressive challenges from the left, including democratic socialist and Sanders-backed candidates, have driven multiple Democratic House incumbent primary defeats in 2026, establishing the 10-12 range as the clear trader consensus at 75.5%. Recent June and July contests saw Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat ousted in New York by Mamdani-endorsed progressives, Rep. Diana DeGette defeated in Colorado, and Rep. Shri Thanedar losing in Michigan, bringing Democratic primary losses to at least six amid redistricting effects in Texas. With dozens of battleground primaries still scheduled through September and additional contests targeting longer-tenured members, the elevated volume of organized opposition and turnout dynamics continue to support expectations of double-digit total defeats before the cycle concludes.

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.
