What happened
The Democratic Party is gaining traction in Senate and gubernatorial races. Market analysis notes that the Democratic Party currently has a 91% chance of controlling the House and a 64% chance of controlling the Senate, according to Kalshi's reading. Separately, Donald Trump stated that if Republicans win both chambers of Congress in the November midterms, he would issue a $5,000 dividend check to every adult American citizen, a payment that would cost roughly $1.22 trillion.

Why it matters

This lingering uncertainty has been reflected in market activity, including bond market turbulence and frequent sector rotation. Furthermore, a potential Republican victory is tied to a massive, unfunded dividend promise.
The major political parties, including Democrats and Republicans, are engaged in a competition for the White House race.
