@Tetraspace What election was this about? Based on the creation date, it was about the 2022 elections, but the market is still open long past then.

@Gabrielle Dems got exactly 51 seats in the 2022 midterms (49D + 2I caucusing with D) so it resolves either YES or NO when senators are appointed after the 2024 election based on whether filibuster is ended by then

the "exactly 51 seats" part makes this pretty unlikely -- a 50-50, 52-48, or Republican-controlled Senate are all likely.
