Gavin Newsom led the market for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination in a DeFi Rate board snapshot, with Kalshi pricing him at 18 cents.

Snapshot timing and trading activity
The board reflected observations through 3:23 AM ET on November 1. The report was published on Nov 1, 2026, at 3:45 AM ET, making the observation time distinct from the publication time.
Reported trading volume over 24 hours was $553,000. The supplied summary does not include other candidates’ prices or earlier readings that would establish whether Newsom’s position had strengthened or weakened.
What it means for prediction markets
- Newsom’s lead is a relative ranking in the observed market, not a declaration that he will secure the nomination.
- The 18-cent Kalshi price and 16.6-cent Polymarket price show a platform-level difference; the supplied material does not explain its cause.
- The $553,000 turnover figure measures trading activity, but without earlier prices it does not establish a direction of movement.
