French Prime Minister François Bayrou survives all no-confidence motions in the National Assembly until August 31, 2026, and remains in office (confirmed by Assemblée nationale or Élysée)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 22. July 2026 · Predicted for 31. August 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event
Probability
78%

François Bayrou has been PM since January 2025 without a parliamentary majority. He most recently survived a no-confidence motion in June 2026 with approx. 50 votes to spare (Reuters, June 2026). Critically, the National Assembly enters regular summer recess from late June and does not reconvene until October (Art. 28 of the Fifth Republic constitution). Extraordinary sessions can be called but are rarely used for censure motions as they would be politically costly for Macron. The structural risk of a successful no-confidence vote over the remaining six weeks to August 31 is therefore low. No Polymarket contract; assessment based on constitutional law and current political balance.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Bayrou übersteht Misstrauensantrag im Juni 2026: ca. 50 Stimmen Spielraum (Reuters, Juni 2026)
  • Art. 28 Verfassung der Fünften Republik: Parlamentarische Sommerpause bis Oktober (Assemblée nationale)
  • Umfragewerte Bayrou-Regierung: Zustimmung ca. 28 % (IFOP, Juli 2026)
  • Élysée: Keine außerordentliche Sitzung der Nationalversammlung für Sommer 2026 angekündigt (AFP, Juli 2026)
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] François Bayrou überstand NICHT alle Misstrauensanträge – er verlor am 8. September 2025 eine Vertrauensabstimmung (die er selbst initiiert hatte) und trat am 9. September 2025 zurück. Quelle: CNBC, Al Jazeera.

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.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
