This market will resolve according to the winner of the Republican Primary for Governor of Rhode Island, scheduled to take place on September 8, 2026. Resolution will be based on the overall winner of the primary, including any potential second round or run-off. If no 2026 Rhode Island Gubernatorial Republican Primary takes place, this market will resolve to “Other.” The resolution source for this market will be the first official announcement of the results from the Rhode Island Republican Party; however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.Recent polling and a contentious August 13 debate have reinforced Elaine Pelino’s position ahead of the September 8 Republican primary for Rhode Island governor. A University of New Hampshire survey from late June showed Pelino at 42 percent support among likely Republican primary voters, well ahead of Aaron Guckian at 17 percent, with substantial undecideds remaining. Pelino has emphasized constitutional conservative positions and appealed directly to the MAGA-aligned base on issues such as immigration, while Guckian has positioned himself as a centrist focused on broader coalition-building. The other declared candidates, including Robert Raimondo, register negligible support in available surveys. With the primary weeks away, trader consensus on the leading contenders aligns with these polling trends and the candidates’ contrasting strategies for mobilizing primary voters.
