Prediction market platform Kalshi is set to launch a central page to provide viewers a real-time snapshot of expectations for the 2026 U.S. midterm elections.

Kalshi’s “Midterms Hub” will feature a map showing what traders think the odds are in individual races for both the Senate and House of Representatives.

The hub will also display polling averages, the latest Federal Election Commission fundraising reports for individual candidates, and curated news and analysis. The platform is designed not only for traders but also for users seeking election insights, noting that about three-quarters of visitors use the site to view market odds rather than trade contracts.

In a statement, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour said prediction markets have a unique perspective, arguing they are hard to infiltrate with political bias.

“They cut through polarization and show you what the wisdom of the crowds actually believes, backed by real money, not rhetoric,” said Mansour, an MIT grad and one-time trader at Citadel and analyst at Goldman Sachs. “That kind of clarity is rare right now and that’s what people are getting with the Midterms Hub.”

The launch marks Kalshi's latest effort to expand its political offerings ahead of November's midterm elections. In May, the company introduced the American Power Index, designed to track which party is gaining or losing momentum.
