What it means for prediction markets
- The figures provide a snapshot of trading activity and outstanding positions as of November 2 at 12:37 AM ET, rather than a final tally.
- Texas and Michigan Senate were the leading races by 24-hour activity. That ranking measures trading volume, not either candidate’s likelihood of winning.
- The supplied data contain no contract prices or implied probabilities, so they do not establish which candidates or parties traders favored.
