This market will resolve according to the number of seats in the US House of Representatives won by the Democratic Party in New York in the 2026 United States midterm election. All New York US House of Representatives elections held as part of the 2026 United States midterm election that elect voting members and determine representation in the upcoming 120th congress are included. Special elections to fill a vacancy for the remainder of an unexpired term are not included, whether or not held concurrently with the 2026 United States midterm election. Runoffs for qualifying elections will determine attribution of the relevant seat. Seats are attributed to the party under which the member was elected. If a member-elect changes party affiliation or vacates their seat after the date of the 2026 United States midterm election, the seat is attributed to the party under which the member was elected. Members of the House elected as independents who formally caucus, or who announce their intent to caucus, with a party prior to the date of the 2026 United States midterm election are included in that party’s count. If the caucus decisions of relevant members of the US House of Representatives elected as independents cannot be determined as of the date of the 2026 United States midterm 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. The resolution sources for this market will be official information from relevant state electoral authorities, the United States Congress, and a consensus of credible reporting.New York’s 26 House districts feature a current 19-7 Democratic edge, with trader consensus clustering around 19–21 Democratic seats due to a handful of suburban battlegrounds. Incumbent Republican Mike Lawler in NY-17 faces a competitive rematch against Democrat Cait Conley in a district that favored Kamala Harris in 2024, while Democratic holds in NY-3 (Tom Suozzi), NY-4 (Laura Gillen), and NY-19 (Josh Riley) remain the other primary variables. Recent Inside Elections and Sabato’s Crystal Ball ratings have shifted several of these contests toward Democrats amid a broader national midterm environment favoring the out-party, though most districts stay safe for their current holders. Primary results from June 2026 have clarified nominees without major disruptions, leaving limited room for larger swings beyond one or two net changes.
