Polymarket and Kalshi Face a Major Accuracy Test: The Midterms

What the coverage shows

The New York Times frames Polymarket and Kalshi as facing a test of their forecasting record in the midterms, while Fox News instead leads with a GOP midterm test and tightening Senate races. The two outlets overlap only loosely on midterm competitiveness and Senate battlegrounds, but Fox News does not foreground the betting sites at all. The Times alone explicitly centers the prediction markets as the subject of the coverage.
