4-bullet brief | narrative

The Polymarket contract on the Republican candidate winning the Georgia Senate election sits at 7%.
Focus group data showing voter anxiety about costs and the economy is consistent with the market's heavy lean against the Republican in Georgia.
The Kalshi contract on the Georgia race being decided by January 4, 2027 sits at 92%, so the market expects a result, just not a Republican one.
Resolution via UMA oracle for the winner market; the 92% resolution-timing contract resolves via United States Congress certification.
