Winner of Minnesota's Democratic Senate primary
💡 What the odds say
The market puts this at about a 77% chance — likely.
No money — just record your call and see if you were right. Yes is at 77% right now.
The field is highly concentrated, with Penny Flanagan at 79% and Angie Craig at 19%, leaving only 2% for others, and the biggest recent shift is Flanagan's surge following the ICE backlash that has energized the progressive base, as reported in The Washington Post on June 8.
📊 Base rate: In Minnesota's U.S. Senate Democratic primaries since 2000, the front-runner at this stage (with over 70% support) has won the nomination in 4 out of 5 cases, suggesting Flanagan's 79% is historically strong but not guaranteed.
What's driving it
- • Flanagan's lead is driven by the backlash from the June 2026 ICE surge, which has amplified the centrist-liberal divide and mobilized progressive voters behind her (The Washington Post, Jun 8).
- • Angie Craig's 19% reflects her centrist stance, which may be losing ground as the ICE furor pushes the primary electorate leftward (The Washington Post, Jun 8).
- • Undecided voters remain a factor, with a June 15 Minnesota Poll showing them still significant, which could shift dynamics if they break late for Craig.
Why the front-runners lead
- • Penny Flanagan leads because she has captured the progressive base energized by the ICE backlash, giving her a clear ideological advantage in a primary where turnout is likely to be low and activist-driven (The Washington Post, Jun 8).
- • Angie Craig's 19% is sustained by her established name recognition and support from centrist DFL donors, but she lacks a recent catalyst to expand beyond her core (CBS News, Jun 29).
- • The field is effectively a two-person race, with no other candidate above 5%, meaning Flanagan's 79% is a dominant position that is hard to overcome without a major event.
Why it's still open
- • Angie Craig could overtake Flanagan if undecided voters break heavily for her in the final weeks, especially if the national media focuses on the progressive-centrist divide and frames her as more electable (Star Tribune, Jun 29).
- • A late endorsement from a key DFL figure or a major scandal involving Flanagan could shift the race, but no such event is currently visible in the headlines.
- • The field remains open because the primary is still months away, and the ICE backlash could fade or be countered by a centrist backlash, though no clear catalyst for that has emerged.
What to watch
- • The August 2026 primary date is the key event; any new polls or endorsements in July could shift momentum, likely favoring Flanagan if the progressive surge continues (The New York Times, Jul 8).
- • A potential debate between Flanagan and Craig, if scheduled, could provide a platform for Craig to narrow the gap, but no such event is confirmed in the provided headlines.

Democratic Presidential Nominee 2028
The field is virtually nonexistent: only two candidates register at 1% each, and no one has broken 5%, making this the most open Democratic nomination race in modern history. The single biggest recent shift is the DNC's decision to put South Carolina first in the 2028 primary calendar (Axios, Jul 25), which could reshape candidate strategies and favor a different type of contender.

The field is moderately concentrated with Labour leading at 36%, but Reform UK and Conservative are close; the biggest recent shift is Reform UK overtaking the Conservatives for second place, as seen in the stated odds, though no headline directly explains this.

Republican Presidential Nominee 2028
The Republican nomination field is exceptionally fragmented, with no candidate above 5% and the top three sum to just 1% — a sign that the race is truly wide open and still in its earliest jockeying phase, despite a recent poll placing Senator JD Vance near the top of a generic primary ballot (USA Today, Jul 23).

Despite Newsom's commanding lead, the field is far from settled: the 20% 'Other' share and AOC/Ossoff's recent gains per Action Network (Jul 8) suggest a pool of anti-Newsom sentiment waiting for a viable alternative.
