This market will resolve according to the winner of the 2026 South Carolina gubernatorial election. A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date. Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party. The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate. If all three sources haven’t called the race in this state for the same candidate, this market will resolve based on the official certification.Alan Wilson secured the Republican nomination for South Carolina governor in the June 2026 runoff, defeating Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette after consolidating support from eliminated primary candidates and navigating President Trump's dual endorsement. This outcome, paired with Democratic nominee state Rep. Jermaine Johnson's primary win, sets up a November 3 general election in a state that has not elected a Democratic governor since 1998. Wilson's established record as attorney general and the party's unified backing in a reliably Republican electorate underpin trader consensus at 93.5% for his victory. Potential shifts could stem from major late-campaign developments such as scandals, health issues, or significant turnout changes among key voting blocs.
