MN-05 Republican Primary Winner

Platform comparison

Market context

The Republican primary for Minnesota’s 5th congressional district is effectively a two-way race, with Dalia Al-Aqidi and John Nagel the only contenders showing meaningful market support. Polymarket currently prices Al-Aqidi at 74%, while Nagel sits at 27%; the remaining names, Abbey Zieska and Angie Windhauser, are both below 1%.[1]

That kind of split is consistent with a market that has already separated a clear front-runner from the field rather than a broad, open contest. On Kalshi, Al-Aqidi is even further ahead at 84% against 15% for Nagel, which reinforces the same basic read: traders are treating the race as Al-Aqidi’s to lose, but not as a lock.[3] With no recent public polling in the search results for this specific contest, the market is leaning more on candidate visibility and campaign signalling than on hard survey data.[1][3]

The key catalyst is the August 11 primary itself, with the market’s settlement window ending the same day.[3] In the final hours, traders will be watching for any last-minute withdrawals, endorsements, ballot issues, or official Republican sign-off that could affect who is treated as the nominee for resolution purposes; the market rules say an official Republican consensus source, including the RNC, will control.[1] Because the contract also resolves to “Other” if no nominee is announced by November 3, 2026, any post-primary dispute or delay in formal certification would matter, even if the vote itself is clear.[1]

FAQ

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
