Texas and Georgia are among five states where new attorneys general could take a more active role in challenging sports event contracts.
Five Democrats won attorney general races previously held by Republicans during the midterm elections, giving Texas, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, and Ohio new leadership as their states confront prediction markets offering sports event contracts.
Democrats flipped five Republican attorney general seats, including three held by officials who backed Supreme Court review of the Kalshi dispute.
Ohio and Iowa’s incoming attorneys general inherit federal court battles over whether their states can enforce gambling laws against Kalshi.
Texas and Georgia still prohibit sports betting, and their incoming attorneys general could decide whether to pursue government action against sports event contracts.
