Eric Pratt secured the Republican nomination for Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District after Tyler Kistner withdrew in April 2026 citing a Marine Corps Reserve deployment and Jeremy Westby later exited the race. With no remaining opponents on the August 11 primary ballot, Pratt advanced unopposed as the sole Republican candidate. Traders reflect this outcome in the 100% pricing for Pratt, consistent with the completed primary results and absence of any active challengers. Late developments such as a successful write-in effort, ballot challenge, or formal contest of the results could theoretically alter the outcome before final certification, though no such actions have been reported.
