📊Free Summary

We believe the Kalshi contract for Republicans winning the California governorship is overvalued at 17%, with our estimate at 3%. California is Biden+29, Harris+22 state. No Republican has won statewide since Schwarzenegger's 2006 reelection, and that required celebrity status + a recall. The 2026 D primary is competitive, but whoever wins will be overwhelming favorite in the general.
