MANIFOLD
If Republicans keep the House in 2026, will Congress ban its members from trading individual stocks before Jan 3, 2029?
15%
chance

Condition: Republicans win a majority of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 3, 2026 elections (at least 218 seats won by Republican Party candidates, counting delegations as certified; independents count for neither party). If Democrats or no party win a majority, this market resolves N/A.

Resolves YES if a law is enacted before January 3, 2029 that prohibits members of Congress from buying or selling individual stocks (a requirement to divest or use a qualified blind trust counts), even if it takes effect later. A House or Senate rule alone does not count. Resolves NO otherwise.

This is one half of a conditional pair; its twin asks the same question if Democrats win the House. Comparing the two shows what the market thinks control of the House changes.

Starting probability is a seed, not a forecast: anchored on public prediction-market prices where a related market exists, otherwise a prior.
