After Ossoff criticized Trump and singled out Harp at a campaign rally, Kalshi’s odds for Ossoff rose from 14 percent to 16 percent, while Polymarket’s fell from 14.8 percent to 14 percent. Ossoff has repeatedly said he is not interested in running for president and is focused on the midterms and his Georgia Senate race.
