On April 28, 2026, André Carson's price plummeted from 98.8c to 50.25c, before quickly recovering to 97.85c; simultaneously, George Hornedo spiked from 0.9c to 49.5c, Denise Paul Hatch spiked from 0.35c to 50c, and Destiny Scott Wells spiked from 0.85c to 49.5c. The reason is likely a momentary flash crash caused by abnormal large sell-offs or liquidity dry-up, but since the incumbent's absolute advantage remained unchanged, the prices were fully corrected by arbitrageurs within hours.
March 29, 2026 - April 4, 2026, André Carson's price steadily climbed from 91.5c to 96c, while challengers George Hornedo and Destiny Scott Wells saw minor declines. The reason is that as the primary date (May 5) approaches, the market has absorbed the reality that challengers pose no substantial threat, causing funds to consolidate on the highly favored incumbent. Prior to this, fundamental news showed incumbent André Carson formally announced his re-election bid, solidifying his frontrunner status. While George Hornedo generated early buzz, his previous irrational market pricing near 50% was fully corrected due to a lack of data support.
