This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the SC-01 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The Republican primary will take place on June 9, 2026. If no nominee is announced by November 3, 2026, 11:59PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of official Republican sources, including https://www.rnc.org/. Any replacement of the nominee before election day will not change the resolution of the market.

Trader consensus in the SC-01 Republican primary hinges on a razor-thin contest between Mark Smith and Alex Pelbath, whose implied probabilities stand at 39.5% and 38.5%, fueled by recent internal polls showing them deadlocked and robust grassroots fundraising from coastal South Carolina donors. The race stays tight due to split local GOP endorsements, with no dominant frontrunner emerging from key influencers, alongside voter focus on district priorities like economic growth and infrastructure. Sam McCown trails at 23% as a conservative wildcard. Separation could arise from a high-profile endorsement, such as from Gov. Henry McMaster, a late-breaking debate gaffe, or final absentee ballot trends ahead of the June primary.
