US House of Representatives proposes to prohibit candidates from betting on their own elections, and the bill cannot be reviewed before the 2026 midterm elections

North Carolina Congressman Don Davis has proposed the "Prohibition of Voting on Your Own Election Act," which aims to prohibit federal election candidates, campaign teams, their spouses, and children from buying, selling, or holding political contracts related to their own elections. Violators face a maximum civil fine of $10000 or confiscation of three times their potential profits. The bill cannot be reviewed before the 2026 midterm elections.
