Kalshi suspends GOP House candidate for betting on her own race

Online prediction market Kalshi suspended a Republican House candidate Monday after it found that she was wagering on her own race.

The candidate, Laurie Buckhout, is running in a district in northeastern North Carolina, a swing district that Republicans see as a pick-up opportunity. The GOP redrew the state’s congressional map to make the seat less safe for her Democratic opponent, incumbent Don Davis.
