How to read this

West Virginia Senate 2026 — frequently asked
Who is favored to win the West Virginia Senate race in 2026?
The live board above shows the current market favorite — read each contract’s price as the market’s implied probability, so a 55¢ contract is a 55% chance. Going into the cycle the seat is held by Shelley Moore Capito (Republican) and rated safe r; because a real-money market reprices continuously, take today’s favorite off the price, not a static rating.
