Polymarket Account Buys Contracts on Democrats Not Controlling Both Chambers

A Polymarket account bought contracts that would pay out if Democrats do not control both chambers of Congress after Tuesday's midterm elections. The contract resolves based on which party controls the House and Senate after Tuesday, Nov. 3, when U.S. midterm voting is scheduled. A majority of voting seats determines control of each chamber. If neither party has a Senate majority, the party with half the seats and the vice presidency receives control; if that leaves the result unresolved, the first elected Senate president pro tempore's party determines it.
