Actually, Texas is more likely a Blue state, but voter suppression, closing of polling places, gerrymandering by the billionaire class is how Abbott et al were voted in. They also admitted the elections were stolen.

The prediction markets aren’t great when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize.

After all, five people decide who wins, and they often like to use the prestige of the Nobel Peace Prize to elevate a person or group not known to most of the world.

Nevertheless, here are the top three candidates on Polymarket and Kalshi, in order of ranking:

1. María Corina Machado: The Venezuelan opposition leader and pro-democracy activist.

2. Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms: Grassroots humanitarian networks formed during Sudan’s 2023 civil war.

3. Yulia Navalnaya: The widow of Alexei Navalny, the Russian freedom fighter. She has become a central figure in the global movement for Russian democracy and accountability.
