Based on: Speculative
Kalshi prices the Republican Party at 57% for Senate majority (total 2026 election market trading volume exceeds $750M, as of September 24–25, 2026). Competitive races in Texas, Maine, Michigan, Alaska, Iowa, Ohio and Nebraska determine the outcome. Historically midterms benefit the opposition party against the sitting administration — an advantage for Republicans. The House is predicted separately in favor of Democrats; a split Congress (Senate GOP, House Democrats) is consistent with both predictions. Kalshi market-implied probability: 57% for Republican Senate majority.

Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage ist nicht eingetreten. Laut NBC News und CBS News gewannen die Demokraten die Senatsmehrheit bei den Midterms 2026 deutlich – mit 54 zu 44 Sitzen. Demokraten flippten mehrere als republikanisch geltende Staaten, darunter Texas, Kansas, South Carolina und Michigan. NBC News hat das Ergebnis bestätigt (nbcnews.com/politics/2026-elections/senate-results). Der historisch erwartete Oppositionsvorteil trat nicht zugunsten der Republikaner ein; stattdessen profitierten die Demokraten offenbar von starker Unzufriedenheit mit Präsident Trump. Die Kalshi/Polymarket-Quote von 57 % für eine republikanische Senatsmehrheit erwies sich als falsch.

In the Mississippi Senate race (Class 3), Democratic candidate Scott Colom holds a razor-thin lead of 65 votes out of ~945,600 counted over incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith, with 95% of votes counted (as of November 8, 2026; sources: ABC News, NBC News). The remaining ~47,800 ballots (5%) come predominantly from urban counties (Hinds, Rankin, Jackson County) that historically lean Democratic. An automatic recount (legally required when margin < 0.5%) is certain; a certified result is not expected before November 15–20. If outstanding ballots mirror the counted split, Colom wins. No Polymarket data available for this individual race; the razor-thin margin does not justify a probability above 55–58%.

At the 9th EPC Summit in Dublin approximately 50 European heads of state convene on November 12, 2026. Each of the eight predecessor summits (Prague 2022 through Tirana 2025) concluded with a unanimous closing communiqué on Ukraine support — historical base rate 100%. Direct momentum: President Zelensky meets Chancellor Merz in Berlin on November 11; bilateral dynamics feed directly into the Dublin summit. Ireland as host has set strengthening European defense capabilities as the top priority. The only failure scenario would be an open veto by Orbán (Hungary) — circumvented at every prior EPC through the consensus principle. No active prediction market; analogy probability from historical base rate: >85%.

Polymarket assigns only 41% probability to a new Israeli government by December 31, 2026 — and just 12% by November 30 (as of November 9, 2026), implying a 59% market probability that government formation fails by year-end. Background: coalition negotiations following the October 2026 elections are deadlocked, with ultra-orthodox parties (Agudat Israel, Degel HaTorah) and right-wing nationalist factions making irreconcilable demands on military draft exemptions and budget priorities. Israel required multiple election cycles in 2019–2022 before achieving a stable government. Own estimate: 55% probability of failure (more conservative than Polymarket's implied 59%, as surprise compromises remain possible).
