Democrats win the Senate
62%ConstructedStale
The market-implied chance that Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress. Democrats need 51 seats, because the vice president, a Republican, breaks 50–50 ties. Each contract's own rules decide independents, runoffs and ties.
Equal-weight average of two venues, each priced at the midpoint of its bid and ask.
Kalshi 61.2% (constructed). Kalshi has no single Senate-control contract, so we add its two balance-of-power contracts in which Democrats win the Senate: D House + D Senate (60.5¢) and R House + D Senate (0.65¢).
Polymarket 62.5%, from its Senate-control contract.
Average: 61.8%, shown as 62%.
Quote type: Midpoint of bid and ask. Cited as: “Prediction markets give Democrats a 62% chance of winning control of the Senate” (average of Kalshi and Polymarket via DeFi Rate).
