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)

Miss ✦ 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.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Kalshi: Paxton 52%, Talarico 48% – Texas Senate Winner Market (DeFi Rate / predictionhunt.com, Stand 10.09.2026)
  • Polymarket: Talarico 51%, Paxton 49% – Texas Senate Election Winner (polymarket.com, Stand 10.09.2026)
  • Kalshi Texas-Senate-Market: >$10,6 Mio. Handelsvolumen seit August 2026 (DeFi Rate, 10.09.2026)
  • Texas Senatswahl-Historie: kein demokratischer US-Senator in Texas seit Lloyd Bentsen 1988 (AP-Archiv)
Verdict: Miss
James Talarico (D) gewann die Texas-Senatswahl am 3. November 2026 mit ca. 55 % zu 43 % gegen Ken Paxton (R). AP rief das Ergebnis noch am Wahlabend (ca. 22:04 Uhr) aus – also innerhalb des vorgesagten Zeitfensters –, aber der falsche Kandidat wurde Sieger. Talarico ist der erste demokratische US-Senator aus Texas seit 1988. Die Vorhersage unterschätzte Talaricos Stärke bei unabhängigen, hispanischen und jüngeren Wählern sowie eine landesweite Demokraten-Welle, die auch Governor Abbott das Amt kostete; der strukturelle Texas-Vorteil für Republikaner reichte nicht aus.

Donald Trump publicly questions the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm results and signals legal challenges by November 15, 2026

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.
