Prediction market platform Kalshi announced it has fined and suspended three political candidates for “political insider trading” after they traded on their own election races during primary campaigns. The penalties ranged from $539 to more than $6,200, with five‑year suspensions; two cases were settled, while a disciplinary action—resulting in a $6,229.30 fine—was taken against Mark Moran, who refused to settle. The candidates involved are Democrat Matt Klein (Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District primary), Republican Ezekiel Enriquez (Texas’s 21st Congressional District primary), and Democrat‑turned‑independent Mark Moran (Virginia U.S. Senate primary).
