US Senate Texas 2026 (3 November 2026): Ken Paxton (R) wins the Texas Senate race against James Talarico (D) (confirmed by AP or NBC News by 4 November 2026)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 10. September 2026 · Predicted for 3. November 2026 · Based on: Speculative

Probability

52%

The Texas Senate race is the closest midterm contest: Kalshi has Paxton at 52%, Polymarket narrowly favours Talarico at 51% (as of 10 Sep 2026). Over $10.6M traded on Kalshi. This prediction reflects Paxton's structural advantage in Texas: the state has not elected a Democratic US Senator since 1988. Paxton's edge with rural and conservative voters outweighs Talarico's strong fundraising and lead with independents, Hispanics, and young voters. Polymarket shows 49% for Paxton – a genuine coin-flip; calibrated slightly to Paxton given Texas's historical base.

Brazilian Presidential Election Runoff (October 25, 2026): Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) wins the runoff and remains President (confirmed by TSE or Globo by October 26, 2026)

An existing Cassandra prediction forecasts that Lula leads the first round (October 4, 2026) with at least 45.0% and that a runoff becomes necessary. Historically, in Brazil, the first-round leader with such a margin has always won the runoff (2022: Lula over Bolsonaro 50.9%/49.1%; 2002: Lula over Serra 61.3%/38.7%). Lula benefits from his incumbent coalition and a fragmented opposition. No direct Polymarket market for the 2026 runoff outcome found (as of September 10, 2026); calibration based on historical patterns and current polling.

Swedish Riksdag Election (13 September 2026): Vänsterpartiet (V) wins more than 7.0% of votes (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by 14 September 2026)

All current polls show V clearly above 7%: Novus (Sept 6–8) 7.5%, Verian (Sept 2) 8.1%, Demoskop (Sept 1) 7.9%, Indikator Opinion (Sept 4) 9.3%. PolitPro aggregate (10 September 2026): 8.0%. The left-wing party benefits from strong Röd-grön mobilization. A sub-7% result would require a massive polling error currently invisible in any survey. No specific Polymarket market found for V; the overall market confirms the Röd-grön lead.

Swedish Riksdag Election (13 September 2026): Röd-grön bloc wins parliamentary majority (at least 175 seats, confirmed by Valmyndigheten by 14 September 2026)

The Röd-grön bloc (S + V + MP + C) leads all current polls over the Tidö bloc (M + SD + KD + L). Novus (Sept 6–8) projects 179 vs. 170 seats, Verian even 190 vs. 159. Polymarket gives Magdalena Andersson (S) 83% odds as next PM; a Tidö majority is rated at only 17–18% (Lines.com). Critically, Liberalerna (L) sit at just 3.1% in the PolitPro aggregate — below the threshold — costing Tidö roughly 17 seats.
