Kalshi 62%

4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi prediction market prices 62% on Ken Paxton winning the GOP nomination AND the Republican candidate winning the Texas Senate general election.
The Supreme Court campaign finance ruling removing party spending caps is consistent with, and modestly supportive of, the above-even Paxton win probability.
A separate Kalshi contract at 39% on at least five Senate Republicans losing re-election in 2026 provides cross-market context on the broader GOP Senate risk environment.
Resolves via Bureau of Labor Statistics data feed, note the unusual resolution source; traders should verify the precise settlement mechanic for this contract.
