2026 Minnesota Republican Gubernatorial Nomination: how the venues are pricing it right now

Venue	Ask	Implied	Fee-aware
Kalshi	90.6¢	90.6%	90.6%
PredictIt	41.5¢	41.5%	41.5%

Spread: 4915 bps · observed 23:59 UTC.

The spread widened to a striking 4,915 bps on the 2026 Minnesota Republican Gubernatorial Nomination market, observed at 23:59 UTC, with Kalshi posting an ask-yes of 90.6 (fee-aware implied: 90.6 pp) against PredictIt's ask-yes of 41.5 (fee-aware implied: 41.5 pp). The spread jump registered at 3,850 bps in the signal feed, consistent with a sharp single-venue reprice rather than a coordinated cross-market move. On a fee-aware basis, PredictIt currently offers the cheaper entry on the YES side at 41.5 pp, while Kalshi's 90.6 pp ask represents a substantial premium — buyers seeking YES exposure at the lowest available cost should route to PredictIt, while any NO-side positioning looks most favorable against Kalshi's elevated YES ask.

Confidence on this snapshot is rated medium, which means there is no news corroboration available — zero news articles indexed in the past 24 hours. Under medium-confidence conditions, the spread should be read primarily as a reflection of one-venue price movement rather than a market-wide reassessment of the underlying nomination contest. The absence of volume figures for both venues further limits the ability to attribute the gap to genuine liquidity demand versus a stale or thin order book on one side.

Traders reviewing this market should treat the 4,915 bps cross-venue gap with caution. Without supporting news flow or volume data, the divergence is more likely a function of illiquidity or lagged quote updates on one venue than a signal of new fundamental information entering the market. The operator flagged this event for snapshot coverage precisely because the magnitude of this spread is anomalous for a state-level primary nomination contract at this stage of the cycle; monitoring for quote refreshes on either venue in the next session will be important before drawing conclusions about where consensus pricing actually sits.
