Kalshi election trading reaches $556 million as House forecasts favor Democrats
Kalshi reports 556 million dollars has traded on its 2026 Senate, House and governor markets as of November 3, 2026, across a menu that also lists 160 more U.S. election markets beyond those races. Its live forecast page counts traders favouring Democrats in 240 of the 435 House races and Republicans in 195, with 14 of those races rated toss-ups.
Kalshi’s 2026 Senate, House and governor markets recorded 556 million dollars in trading as of Election Day, November 3, 2026, according to Kalshi. The update was published at 7:45 PM ET.
Trading activity and election coverage
The reported total covers those three categories of races. Kalshi’s election menu also lists 160 additional U.S. election markets beyond them, according to the platform.
That distinction matters when reading the volume figure: the supplied update does not give a separate trading total for those 160 markets or break down the 556 million dollars among Senate, House and governor contests.
House forecasts point toward Democrats
Kalshi’s live forecast page shows traders favoring Democrats in 240 of the 435 House races and Republicans in 195, according to Kalshi. Those figures describe market preferences, not confirmed election results.
The page also rates 14 of those races as toss-ups. The supplied update does not identify those contests or specify how they are distributed between the two parties’ favored-race counts.
What it means for prediction markets
- Volume has a defined scope: The 556 million dollars applies to the 2026 Senate, House and governor markets, rather than an explicitly stated total for every U.S. election market listed.
- Race counts are not probabilities: The 240–195 House split summarizes which party traders favor in each race; it does not provide individual contract prices or a probability of chamber control.
- Close contests remain relevant: The 14 toss-ups qualify the House snapshot and should not be treated as settled outcomes.
