4-bullet brief | narrative

92% YES prices Schumer as a near-certain pick for Senate Majority Leader in the next Congress.
Polymarket saw $81K in 24h, 48% of all-time contract volume, signaling a sharp burst of fresh attention.
Volume surge likely tied to post-midterm Senate leadership positioning and any public whip-count signals.
Contract resolves YES if Schumer is named Senate Majority Leader, NO if another Democrat takes the role.
