Kalshi launches Midterms Hub election forecasting platform

Kalshi launched its Midterm Elections Hub on July 22, 2026, a dashboard aggregating prediction market odds, polling averages, fundraising data, and historical election results for Senate, House, and gubernatorial races. The platform was announced alongside a Washington, D.C. event featuring CEO Tarek Mansour. The Wisconsin Elections Commission separately warned residents that betting on elections they vote in is illegal under state law.
