The race for the White House is heating up like never before! On the Polymarket prediction platform, former President Donald Trump has seen a sudden surge in support, now leading his opponent Kamala Harris by 13%. This is the largest gap since the Vice President replaced Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate at the end of July.
After a back-and-forth battle since early August, during which Harris seemed to gain an advantage thanks to the support of celebrities like Taylor Swift, Trump began regaining momentum in mid-September.
In October, Trump held a major rally in Butler, Pennsylvania—where he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in July. At this event, he received strong backing from billionaire Elon Musk, who appeared live on stage, energizing the crowd with his presence.
On social media platform X, Elon Musk also stated that prediction rates on Polymarket are more reliable than statistics from U.S. media outlets, as people are betting real money.
The prediction market for the U.S. Presidential election on Polymarket has surpassed $1.6 billion, gaining $600 million in just the past three weeks. Notably, an investor with the pseudonym Fredi9999 recently purchased an additional 7 million shares predicting Trump’s victory, bringing their total investment to $7.8 million, and currently reaping a profit of nearly half a million dollars.
