  • The Democrats' odds hit an all-time-low of 17% just after the market opened in late 2024, but have since rallied, surpassing 50% in March 2026.
  • The resurgence can be linked directly to the US-Iran conflict, which is hurting Republican-held seats.
  • However, the Republicans are back in the lead, having surged to 56-57% in July, owing to the volatility of the market and the conflict driving it.

  • Resolves to whichever party holds the Senate majority after the 2026 midterms (a 50-50 split is broken by the Vice Presidency).
  • If that's ambiguous, Kalshi defers to the party holding the President pro tempore and Polymarket to the party of the elected Majority Leader - in practice, always the same party.
