A 2024 wager made before Donald Trump named JD Vance as his running mate is under review after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna was said to have indicated she already knew the choice.
A 2024 Polymarket bet tied to JD Vance’s selection as Donald Trump’s running mate has resurfaced in a U.S. regulatory review over whether the trader may have acted on advance information. Before Trump formally announced Vance as his vice-presidential pick in 2024, Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna was said to have told people during a dinner at a private club in Tampa that she already knew who had been chosen. The issue matters because prediction markets such as Polymarket let users trade on event outcomes, raising questions about whether politically sensitive nonpublic information can be used for profit.
