Senators would be banned from betting on prediction markets, which are platforms where people wager money on the outcomes of future events like elections or policy decisions. This rule change prevents lawmakers from potentially profiting off their own legislative actions or inside knowledge about upcoming votes and political developments. The restriction aims to reduce conflicts of interest and maintain public trust in Congress.
