Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by just 1 percentage point, according to the latest 2024 election forecasts from Polymarket released Tuesday, with a poll showing Harris with 50% of the vote, followed closely by Trump with 49%.
Pollymarket Bettors Prefer Kamala Harris
Current polls show that 75% of respondents expect Harris to win the popular vote, while 24% believe Trump will win the election.
Harris's advance comes after she announced her candidacy for the US presidential election last July, following the withdrawal of current US President Joe Biden from the race, and her shares began to rise in the expectations markets, especially during the summer season.
Despite Harris’ lead, Trump has managed to rebalance his poll numbers, in part thanks to his family’s recently launched cryptocurrency platform initiative, World Liberty Financial.
Donald Trump plays the crypto card
Trump’s stance on blockchain and cryptocurrencies has been well-received by voters, and over the summer he made a point of emphasizing his intention to pass crypto-friendly laws at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville.
“We will have regulations, but from now on, they will be made by people who are pro-industry, not anti-industry,” Trump told the crypto community. The former president also vowed to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, criticizing the current approach to regulating digital assets during his family’s crypto project launch event earlier this month.
“If the worst-case scenario happens and we lose the election for some reason, those who are under investigation and are still free as birds now, and those who are under surveillance in the crypto world, will live in hell starting the day after the election ends if the others win,” Trump said.
Kamala Harris affirms her support for technological developments and innovation
Harris has recently been keen to emphasize her support for digital innovation; after months of not addressing the topic of cryptocurrencies, Harris has begun expressing her support for developing safer and more transparent work environments to embrace technological progress.
“We will encourage innovative technologies like artificial intelligence and digital assets while ensuring that consumers and investors are protected, and we will work to provide a safe business environment governed by consistent and transparent laws,” Harris said during a speech in Pittsburgh last week.
As the presidential election approaches, the race continues to be a tight race between Harris and Trump, with each addressing critical economic areas such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
