Maine Governor Race 2026: Hannah Pingree vs Bobby Charles Odds
Maine opens up with Janet Mills term-limited, in a state that splits its ticket more readily than most and runs ranked-choice primaries. The governor contract sits beside a genuine toss-up Senate race and a Senate-and-Governor combination contract, so the price here is one of the few governor markets that can be read against a second statewide number. Watch the gap between the two offices rather than either in isolation.

Kalshi quotes 3 priced legs here, not two — read the leader against the whole board, because a third leg is probability the two-party numbers leave out.

How to read this
Each contract pays $1 at resolution, so the price in cents is the market’s implied probability — a 58¢ contract is a 58% chance. When the leading price sits near 50¢, the market is telling you the race is a genuine coin flip. A leg with no price shows a dash; we never fill one in.
Maine on the same ballot
Maine also elects a U.S. senator on November 3, 2026, and Kalshi prices that race separately. Kalshi additionally lists a four-outcome Senate-and-Governor combination contract for Maine, priced against the product of its two legs on the Senate race page.

What does the market say about the Maine governor race?
The Quick Answer at the top of this page states the leading contract and its price as of the last refresh. A leg priced in the 80s or 90s is the market calling the race; a leading price near 50¢ is the market saying it does not know. We carry no forecaster rating for governor races, so the price stands on its own here rather than against a published band.
