Online prediction market Kalshi suspended Republican House candidate Laurie Buckhout and fined her $25,000 after discovering she wagered on her own congressional race in North Carolina's 1st District. The retired Army colonel, running against Democratic Rep. Don Davis in a key battleground district, received a three-year suspension from the platform.
Prediction market platform Kalshi penalized three congressional candidates—Mark Moran, Matt Klein, and Ezekiel Enriquez—for wagering on their own campaigns. Minnesota State Senator Matt Klein admitted placing bets out of curiosity, while Moran claimed he wanted to test Kalshi's response to insider trading.
