With weeks to go before the US presidential election, two presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris faced off on ABC last night. While the two made serious accusations against each other, crypto was not discussed. While major US media institutions commented that Kamala Harris won the debate, Bitcoin fell below $57,000 again after the program ended.
The Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate, which has been awaited for weeks, took place tonight. The most discussed topics were abortion rights, the immigration problem, the economic situation, and the Gaza and Ukraine wars.
Trump: They are kidnapping and eating pets
As expected, cryptocurrencies were not discussed in the debate that lasted more than 2 hours. This topic was also not mentioned in the Biden-Trump broadcast in June. The most resounding claim of the night came from Donald Trump. Trump claimed that Haitian immigrants who entered the country illegally were kidnapping and eating people's pets.
Harris responded to this claim with a laugh and said, “This is why 200 Republican representatives support me. Even Dick Cheney is among them.” Cheney was the vice president of the last Bush term in the USA.
Bitcoin fell
Institutions such as CNN, Reuters and Axios claimed that Kamala Harris won the debate. After the program on ABC ended, Bitcoin, which had risen above $58,000, fell below $57,000 again. The US media wrote that Harris trapped Trump on many issues in the debate and that Trump could not talk about the issues he really needed to talk about as he wanted.
Elon Musk: Presenters Were Not Fair
On the other hand, famous businessman and Trump supporter Elon Musk claimed that ABC presenters were not fair to Trump. Musk made the following statements:
“I think the presenters were not fair in the debate. My real thought at the end of the program is that if Trump becomes president, he will do much more good than Harris. Kamala can do it too, but why hasn’t she done it so far? Because Biden is barely working. Therefore, we can say that things are already in Kamala’s hands and under her control. The question that needs to be asked here is, do you want the same system to continue for another 4 years or do you want it to change?”
Synchronized in Polymarket
After the program ended, the odds between Trump and Harris were tied again at 49% to 49% on Polymarket, the largest prediction market platform. Trump had the upper hand until the minute the debate started.
Small notes…
Global wars were also the most discussed topic of the program. Trump said Harris hated Israel, but Harris did not accept this. Harris, on the other hand, stated that Trump did not want to support Ukraine to please Putin. Trump also denied this claim.
Harris pledged to continue making the US military the strongest in the world, while Trump said Biden was the worst American president in history and Harris the worst vice president.
