Kalshi launches election hub for midterm prediction markets

Kalshi has introduced a new Midterms Hub that lets users track how traders are pricing key U.S. House and Senate races ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The page combines market odds with polling averages, fundraising data, and selected news coverage. The platform said most visitors use Kalshi to check event odds rather than place trades. Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said prediction markets can offer a view of public expectations that is less influenced by partisan spin. The launch is part of Kalshi’s broader push into politics ahead of November, following earlier products such as the American Power Index. The company also said more than $30 million has already been traded on contracts tied to control of the House and Senate.
