Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve according to the candidate who wins the nomination for the Republican Party to contest the MN-02 congressional district seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections. The Republican primary will take place on August 11, 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.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution.

Minnesota's 2nd congressional district will hold a Republican primary on 11 August 2026 to select the party's nominee for the U.S. House seat. The district, which encompasses parts of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area and surrounding suburbs, has been competitive in recent cycles. The primary winner will face the Democratic nominee in November's general election, with the seat currently held by Democrat Angie Craig, who has represented the district since 2019.
Historical context for Minnesota Republican primaries suggests competitive races when seats are genuinely contested. The state's 2nd district leans slightly Democratic in presidential matchups, making the Republican nomination meaningful but not determinative of general election outcomes. Similar suburban Minnesota districts have seen spirited primary contests, particularly when multiple candidates perceive viability. Current crowd pricing on Polymarket's order book has yet to form, leaving the implied probability unestablished; early trading will likely reflect initial assessments of candidate field strength, fundraising capacity, and endorsement patterns.
Traders should monitor candidate announcements through late 2025 and early 2026, particularly regarding establishment backing and grassroots support. The Minnesota Republican Party's official processes and any early polling data will shape market expectations. Local media coverage from outlets including the Star Tribune will provide substantive updates on candidate positioning. The resolution hinges on official Republican Party sources confirming the nominated candidate by the November 3 deadline, with any nominee replacement before election day not affecting the market outcome.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
