This market resolves to "Yes" if Tim Sheehy or another representative of the Republican party is sworn in as a Senator of Montana for the term beginning in 2025. The resolution criteria depend on the local, state, and federal governments' determinations of the winner. If the major news organizations call the race, the market may resolve early, but only after those sources have agreed on the same candidate. A switch in party affiliation by the winning candidate will not affect the outcome if it occurs after Election Day. The resolution source is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC, which must all agree before resolving.
