The August 4 Democratic primary in Michigan’s 13th District produced a narrow victory for state Rep. Donavan McKinney over incumbent Rep. Shri Thanedar, with unofficial results showing McKinney at 51.9% and Thanedar at 48.1% for a margin near 3.8–4 percentage points out of roughly 111,000–112,000 votes cast. This outcome in the solidly Democratic Detroit-area seat reflects a tight contest between a DSA-backed progressive challenger and the two-term incumbent, despite Thanedar’s substantial cash-on-hand advantage. Trader positioning remains split between McKinney under 4% and the 4–8% band because final certified totals, potential adjustments from remaining precincts, or any recount could shift the exact margin across the threshold. No major post-election developments have altered the standing results to date.

This market will resolve according to the margin of victory between the top two candidates in the MI-13 Democratic Primary election.
For the purpose of this market, the “margin of victory” is defined as the absolute difference between the percentages of valid votes received by the first- and second-place candidates. Percentages of the valid votes received by each candidate will be determined by dividing the total number of valid votes each of the top two candidates receives by the sum of all valid votes cast in the election.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher placed bracket (ascending).
If two candidates receive the exact same highest number of valid votes and both are listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for the tied candidate whose last name comes first alphabetically. If only one of the tied candidates is listed, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket for that listed candidate. If neither tied candidate is listed, this market will resolve to “Other.”
This market will resolve based on the official vote count once the count has been made official.
If the results of the specified election are not known definitively by November 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “Other”.
The primary resolution source for this market will be information from the State of Michigan, such as official statewide results published by the Michigan Secretary of State (https://www.michigan.gov/sos); however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting may suffice.
If a recount is initiated before the vote total has been made official, the market will remain open until the recount is completed and the vote is made official.
