French Senate Election (September 27, 2026): Conservative alliance (Les Républicains and allies) retains absolute Senate majority (confirmed by Le Monde or AFP by September 28, 2026)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 7. September 2026 · Predicted for 27. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

76%

On September 27, 2026, 178 of 348 Senate seats are renewed by indirect vote (elected by local politicians). Les Républicains (LR) and Union centriste currently hold ~189 seats — a comfortable absolute majority. Since the electoral college consists of mayors and local councillors who are traditionally conservative, the system structurally favors the right/centre-right. The last left-wing Senate majority was 2011–2014 (3 years only). No Polymarket market available. Main risk: if Macron's Renaissance party and the left form a joint list and benefit from favorable local dynamics — historically unlikely. The NUPES coalition broke apart in 2024 and has not reformed.

Donald Trump publicly questions the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm results and signals legal challenges by November 15, 2026

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.
