Donald Trump Winning Odds Soar Against Kamala Harris, Here’s Why

As a seasoned political observer with a background in economics and finance, I find myself intrigued by this dynamic turn of events. Kamala Harris’ recent misstep in her crypto town hall meeting speech seems to have shaken her support base, while Donald Trump is capitalizing on this opportunity to regain momentum.


With the elections approaching, it seems that the chances are swinging again towards Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, as suggested by Polymarket’s data. Currently, Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris stands at approximately a 51% chance of victory compared to Trump’s 47%.

Kamala Harris Shoots Herself in the Leg

Previously, the former President’s chances of winning were slightly lower compared to Kamala Harris’, but they are now 3% higher than before. However, after a disappointing town hall meeting on the economy regarding cryptocurrency last Friday, the candidate endorsed by President Joe Biden experienced a dip in her support. It seems that something she said during the speech may have upset some of her backers, causing them to reconsider their position.

Bill Ackman, a 58-year-old hedge fund manager from America, expressed his thoughts about various initiatives undertaken by President Biden and Vice President Harris, as well as their struggles in achieving all they aimed for, particularly their infrastructure plan. Furthermore, Ackman drew attention to Vice President Harris’ proposed plan to construct 3 million housing units within four years. Given her past performance with President Biden, Ackman implied that Harris might be overextending herself.

Elon Musk, the proprietor of X, also commented on the proposed patent acquisition by the Vice President. Notably, this business magnate, known for his competition with Donald Trump, also shared his thoughts about the possible seizure of patents by the government.

During a public gathering, she proclaimed, “I intend to seize control of their patent, allowing us [the U.S. government] to assume ownership. Can we accomplish this? Absolutely! The real question is: ‘Do you possess the determination to make it happen?’ I certainly have the determination to do so.”

Donald Trump Expanding Crypto Stance

As a researcher studying political dynamics, it’s hardly shocking to observe a dip in the Vice President’s approval ratings given the hostility she faces. Leveraging this situation, the former President seems to be climbing the victory ladder steadily, potentially outmaneuvering his competitors in the polls, should the Vice President persist with her controversial remarks.

At present, both candidates seem set to participate in debates next month. Notably, they hold differing views on cryptocurrencies, particularly regarding their policies. Specifically, Donald Trump’s team appears to be pro-digital asset industry, while Harris is associated with the Biden administration’s stance against cryptocurrencies.

Trump’s affinity for cryptocurrency has been passed onto his family members, and as a result, his sons are involved in several cryptocurrency initiatives right now. In fact, just recently, his eldest son introduced a Telegram channel dedicated to their family’s crypto endeavor.
