4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi contract on a 2026 blue tsunami sits at 99%, consistent with confirmed Democratic sweeps of the House and Senate.
Democrats flipped Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Maine, Ohio, North Carolina, and South Carolina Senate seats; the breadth of the wave matches the near-certain pricing.
At 99%, the contract leaves essentially no residual doubt; resolution is pending official Bureau of Labor Statistics confirmation per the named source.
The 1% residual may reflect settlement-mechanics uncertainty rather than any genuine political doubt about the outcome.
