Some people are starting to predict that Trump could win all six pivotal swing states—a repeat of his 2016 victories in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin against Hillary Clinton. As of Oct. 28, 2024, at 12 p.m. Eastern, Polymarket bettors show Trump leading in all six battleground states.

Polymarket wagerers currently estimate a 33% chance that Trump will sweep all of the battleground states. Besides believing Trump could win the key states, many predict a Republican trifecta—a GOP hold on the presidency, Senate, and House of Representatives. This rare combination gives a party more sway in passing legislation, confirming judicial nominations, and setting the U.S. policy agenda. The last GOP trifecta, achieved during Trump’s first term, ended in 2018 when Democrats regained the House.

Currently, Polymarket bettors give the GOP a 48% chance of achieving a rare trifecta win, while Democrats hold just 12%. The prediction platform Kalshi also indicates high odds for a Trump victory and a GOP majority in all battleground states. On Kalshi, there’s an 84% chance the House will go Republican and a 52% chance the GOP will lead the Senate, making the full Republican trifecta probability around 44%.

The latest shifts on Polymarket and Kalshi exemplify the heightened stakes surrounding the 2024 election, reflecting a landscape where voters and bettors alike see significant odds of a GOP resurgence. Such an outcome could reshape the political balance, granting Republicans a rare, unified government control. This possibility is emblematic of an electorate potentially leaning towards change, as markets hint at broader public sentiment favoring policy shifts across major national concerns.

If these trends hold, a Republican sweep would likely prompt new strategies from the Democrats, recalibrating their approach in a potentially more adversarial legislative environment. The prospect of a GOP-led trifecta could signal a transformative phase, affecting issues from judicial appointments to regulatory priorities. With decision-making powers consolidated such an outcome might mark a pivotal juncture, shaping the political and legislative course in profound ways for years to come.
