This market will resolve according to the number of seats in the US House of Representatives won by the Democratic Party in South Carolina in the 2026 United States midterm election. All South Carolina 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.South Carolina’s seven congressional districts feature one Democratic-held seat and six Republican strongholds heading into the 2026 midterms. The sole Democratic incumbent, Jim Clyburn in the 6th district, faces minimal challenge in a reliably Democratic-leaning area, anchoring expectations that Democrats will retain at least one seat. The primary variable remains the open 1st district, where Republican Nancy Mace’s decision to run for governor created a vacancy; the race between GOP nominee Jenny Costa Honeycutt and Democrat Nancy Lacore carries “Likely Republican” or “Solid Republican” ratings from major forecasters despite its inclusion on the DCCC target list. Redistricting has not produced additional swing opportunities, and no other districts show meaningful competitiveness. National midterm dynamics favoring the out-party provide some tailwind for a potential second seat, yet South Carolina’s partisan lean and historical results keep trader consensus centered on one Democratic win, with lower odds for two or more.
