Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That's actually brilliant to bet against yourself.
If you loose the election, you win $$.
If you win the election, you loose some $$ short term, but then get it back with all the envelops of cash and future inside trading.
Basically insurance without the greedy CEOs
Just the fine, upstanding folks at Kashi or Polymarket
Yeah, gods of the "Machine of truth"
Great; now out and suspend those close to Trump that keep pulling this shit.
For those who don't know, Trump Jr. is an official advisor to Kalshi.
Well, at least they were brought to justice.
Calling it a 'prediction' market doesn't make it any less a gambling site at best, and a vehicle for insider trading at worst. They need to be made illegal.
(Edit to fix typos)
One of the other traders was Virginia independent Mark Moran, who is running for Senate. Kalshi said Moran bet in October that he would announce a political run, and then publicly launched his campaign in January.
In an interview with CNN, Moran said the trades were a stunt so that a “longshot” candidate like himself could draw attention to “illegal gambling” happening on prediction sites.
Yeah I support this guy's use. Really, it's the system that is the problem; not the individual politicians. Besides, the President of the USA has done far worse.
Pete Rose may be gone, but his spirit lives on
Pete rose
.. to power
The only time I’d be okay with this is if they are betting in a way that they can’t directly influence.
Bet you lose? Not okay. Bet you do something on a date, or at all? Not okay. Bet you win? That seems fine to me.
3… just 3
Is Kalshi the one whose CEO says he doesn't read (or can't read)?
No that's the Governor of California /s
