JUST IN: Artemis II countdown timer resumes. T–10 minutes until launch. Godspeed!

Today is Election Day in America! We have two big elections, one in Wisconsin and another in Georgia. Read below for the full overviews! 1) The Wisconsin Supreme Court Election The Candidates: Maria Lazar (R-aligned) vs. Chris Taylor (D-aligned) Commentary: While these races are technically non-partisan, Lazar is clearly the conservative candidate while Taylor is the more liberal one. There is currently a liberal majority of 4-3, and this Supreme Court race is to replace Rebecca Bradley who is a conservative judge. A Taylor victory would result in a 5-2 liberal majority, ensuring liberals have a majority in Wisconsin until 2030. In April 2025, the Wisconsin Supreme Court race got a lot of attention due to the fact that over $100 million got poured into this race, with over $25 million from Elon Musk himself. The liberal candidate won by 10 points. In 2026, the Wisconsin Republican Party is not investing many resources in this race because they do not think they have a chance. Democrats have been over performing in special elections across the country in 2025 and 2026, and Wisconsin is seen as a pure swing state during non-special elections, so even if Republicans did invest heavily in this race like they did in 2025, it probably wouldn’t be competitive. What the markets say: The overall Kalshi odds have Taylor at a 99% favorite. The interesting market here is by what margin though. The markets are favoring Taylor to win by 12-15% right now. A wide margin for a swing state like Wisconsin that Trump win in 2024 Margin brackets: Under 9%: 16% 9-12%: 27% 12-15%: 29% 15-18%: 19% 18%+: 21% 2) The GA-14 House Special Election The candidates: Clayton Fuller (R) vs. Shawn Harris (D) Commentary: This special election is being held to fill the House seat of Former House of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after she feuded with Donald Trump over the Epstein Files and other issues and then abruptly resigned. In 2024, Marjorie Taylor Greene carried this district by 29 points, defeating Democrat Shawn Harris. In 2026, Shawn Harris is running again. The first round was held on March 10, 2025. Shawn Harris finished first with 37% of the vote, while the Trump-endorsed Republican candidate Clayton Fuller finished in a close second with 35% of the vote. Because the Republican vote was split across multiple candidates, no candidate broke the 50% threshold needed to win elections in Georgia, so the runoff between Fuller and Harris is being held today. What the markets are saying: Currently, Fuller is seen as the 98% favorite on Kalshi, but the margin of victory market is the most interesting. The 10-15% bracket is seen as the favorite with a 35% likelihood. Donald Trump won this seat by a whopping 36 points, so the favored result would represent a 20-25 Democratic over performance which is higher than the average over performance we’ve seen from Democrats in special elections in 2025-26, which is in the 15-20 range. Margin brackets: Fuller Under 5%: 12% 5-10%: 20% 10-15%: 34% 15-20%: 30% 20%+: 20%

Hegseth on Thursday demanded the resignation of Army Chief of Staff General Randy George, Driscoll’s top aide, for reasons that were not publicly stated 3.
