In a surprising move, Kentucky is targeting prediction markets, a decision that could put the state at odds with former President Donald Trump's stance on the issue.
Trump has expressed that states should not engage with firms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, which operate in the prediction market space.
As a traditionally Republican state, Kentucky's actions may signal a shift in how some GOP members view the regulation of these markets, potentially leading to further discussions within the party.
