4-bullet brief | narrative

41% price means the market assigns Republicans a meaningful but sub-50% chance in Michigan.
35% of all-time volume in 24h points to a catalyst, likely a candidate announcement or new poll.
Michigan Senate is a marquee 2026 battleground; fresh capital is narrowing the Democratic edge.
Race resolves on November 2026 election night, a long runway keeps volatility elevated.
