As of mid-August 2026, 37 Republican House incumbents have announced they will not seek re-election, according to Ballotpedia and aligned trackers, placing the total firmly in the 36–39 range that commands over 79% market probability. This elevated figure reflects a combination of members retiring outright, pursuing Senate or gubernatorial bids, and a broader wave of departures in the 119th Congress amid narrow majorities and midterm headwinds for the president’s party. Recent additions and confirmations through summer have kept the count stable near the upper end of historical midterm norms, with limited further announcements expected before filing deadlines close. The market’s tight clustering around 36–39 captures trader consensus on the final verified total once primaries and formal withdrawals conclude.

This market will resolve according to the total number of Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives who are considered to be retiring or not seeking reelection in 2026.
For the purposes of this market, a member may be considered not to seek reelection if:
• They publicly announce they are retiring from Congress and will not run for reelection to their current seat
• They choose to run for a different elected office in 2026 instead of running for reelection to their current seat
• They do not seek their party’s nomination for reelection to their current seat, meaning they neither file for reelection nor participate in their party’s nominating process (such as a primary, convention, or caucus)
Only members whose current term is scheduled to end with the 2026 regular election for the House may qualify for this market.
This market will not resolve until after the relevant final 2026 candidate filing deadline has passed in all states, which is expected to occur in late August 2026.
The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.
