This high probability reflects current expectations that Democrats will retain control, though one-in-five odds for Republicans indicates meaningful uncertainty about the outcome.

What could move it
- Major shifts in economic conditions or national political sentiment before the 2026 election could move odds meaningfully.
- Significant changes in House composition (e.g., unexpected vacancies or party switches) might alter the baseline heading into the election cycle.
- As the election date approaches, late-breaking polling or campaign developments could prompt repricing, though the long time horizon until November 2026 limits how much information is yet to arrive.
