On January 10, according to The Block, 30 Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are actively supporting legislation that would prevent elected officials from engaging in politics-related gambling on prediction markets, following previous incidents involving betting related to the arrest of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The bill, titled the “Financial Prediction Markets Public Integrity Act of 2026,” was formally introduced on Friday by New York Representative Rich Torres. This comes as a Polymarket account had bet that Maduro would step down by the end of this month and profited $400,000 from the wager, raising concerns about insider trading, and the introduction of this bill comes at a time of growing public attention to these issues.
