NPR's report on physicians in Congress said that physicians who are Democrats made significant gains in the next Congress. Its headline described "a big night for doctors to win seats in Congress," and placed the results within the blue wave.

According to NPR, most physicians who have served in the House or Senate have historically been Republicans. The summary of that report does not give a count of the physicians elected in the midterms.

Axios's piece on prediction markets reported that platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket officially do not care which side of a bet wins, since there is no "house" and each platform collects its cut either way. The business model has attracted billions of dollars in venture capital, the outlet said.

Axios, in a piece by Dan Primack, then argued that Kalshi and Polymarket should be pulling hard for Democrats in the midterm elections, while acknowledging that the view may seem counterintuitive. Its headline ties the markets to the blue wave. The summary of that piece does not describe any election results.

NPR and Axios covered separate subjects, NPR the professional background of lawmakers and Axios the business of prediction markets. Neither summary gives figures for the size of the shift in seats or for the volume of betting on the midterms.
