Trump Isn’t Prioritizing Prediction Market Regulations, Says Ex-Chief of Staff

Mick Mulvaney, former Chief of Staff to President Donald Trump, told the opening panel at the National Council of Legislators from Gaming States summer meeting that President Trump is not prioritizing regulation of prediction markets. The comments came during the session’s opening discussion and were reported by Gambling News.

Mulvaney also noted that his son, Trump Jr., is a crucial player in the prediction markets scene. He framed that point alongside his view that Trump Sr. isn’t focusing on the question of who exactly should regulate those markets.

For the US market, the exchange highlights a gap between private involvement in prediction markets and federal regulatory focus, leaving regulators and operators watching for any shift in priority.
