Resolves positively if:
• The Democrats have exactly 51 seats after the midterms, else N/A
• The U.S. Senate passes a motion to invoke cloture and end debate on any part of the legislative process, with such cloture motion receiving Yea votes from fewer than three-fifths of the Senators duly chosen and sworn, else NO.

@Tetraspace What election was this about? Based on the creation date, it was about the 2022 elections, but the market is still open long past then.
@Gabrielle Dems got exactly 51 seats in the 2022 midterms (49D + 2I caucusing with D) so it resolves either YES or NO when senators are appointed after the 2024 election based on whether filibuster is ended by then
