US Midterm 2026 Results: Early Races Called as BTC Slips and US Futures Dive

As U.S. midterm results came in, Democratic Senators Jon Ossoff and Mark Warner won Georgia and Virginia, and markets moved lower: Bitcoin edged down and S&P 500 futures fell 0.6% after an early gain. Kalshi, a prediction market, placed Democratic Senate odds near 90% and House odds at 97%. Traders feared a Democratic sweep could limit data center growth and weigh on artificial-intelligence stocks; Nasdaq-100 futures lost 0.5%, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 252 points, and Cboe Volatility Index futures rose to 20.90. Advanced Micro Devices initially jumped on better-than-expected third-quarter earnings but later trimmed its gain to about 4%.
