It's not surprising. For Americans, political science is stuff about which party is favored in midterms if the president is unpopular..That kind of thing.

Actually, the person who created Kalshi is Brazilian-born Luana Lopes Lara, the youngest woman to verifiably make a billion dollars entirely on her own.
The idea of betting on world and political events, however, isn't something new. DARPA (the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) tried to create a similar thing in 2023 but it was panned by the news media as "trading in death" because some of the "bets" would have been on potential conflicts around the globe. Because of the negative publicity the Pentagon shut down the project.
