Will Ron Eller be the Republican Nominee for MS-02?

Analysis

Seven of eight agents cluster tightly between 28-34%, with only Agent 1 (50%, failed research) and Agent 5 (45%) as outliers. Agent 5's higher estimate is based on claimed establishment endorsements (Wicker, Hyde-Smith, Kelly, Reeves) that no other agent corroborated - these may be from the 2024 cycle rather than 2026. The strongest evidence comes from Agents 2, 3, 7, and 8, who all independently found: (1) this is a two-person race, (2) Wilson has massive financial advantages as MS's largest independent oil/gas producer, (3) Eller has very weak fundraising ($34K raised in 2024, only $2.5K in Q4 2025), (4) Eller is a three-time candidate with two general election losses, and (5) Wilson is a current elected official with institutional credibility. The sibling market prices Wilson at 66%, and the price trend shows Eller declining from 41.5% to 33.5% over the past week, suggesting new information favoring Wilson. The ensemble mean of 35.75% is slightly inflated by the two outlier agents. The median of 33% aligns perfectly with market price. To believe the market is wrong, I'd need to believe Eller's prior nominee status and possible establishment endorsements outweigh Wilson's wealth, freshness, and current officeholder status in a low-turnout primary - a weak case. No edge exists relative to market price of 33.5%.
