Despite gaining huge support from top celebrities and personalities, Donald Trump has failed to secure a better level of support over Kamala Harris.
Donald Trump, the former 45th American president, is currently running for the presidential election. Trump has shown strong support for Bitcoin during his speeches this year, and crypto enthusiasts are openly backing him, expecting that he will win and create a crypto-friendly environment in the US.
According to odds on the popular betting platform Polymarket, Trumpâs biggest rival, Kamala Harris, currently holds a 1% lead.

This data shows that both politicians are neck and neck at 50-50% chances of winning, which is concerning for Trump, especially since he is receiving widespread support over Harris.
The richest personality, Elon Musk, has been showing full support for Trump, and Muskâs followers are also backing him.
Musk continues to post positive messages about Trump daily via his X account.

I'm voting for the unity ticket. That included Musk, Tulsi, Kennedy, Trump, and Thiel. My state is not a battleground so it's kennedy on the ballot

On the other hand, many people on social media are mocking Kamala Harris for her controversial statements. Recently, she claimed that she would lower grocery prices on her first day in office. Critics have questioned why she didnât address this issue over the past four years and why she is making this promise just before the elections.
