Former President Trump has surged ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris in at least one betting market after receiving a surprise boost as the Democratic National Convention (DNC) continues in Chicago.

Trump, who was surpassed by Harris in the prediction markets a week ago, has regained his position as the frontrunner on PolyMarket, where traders on Wednesday gave him a 52% chance of winning the 2024 presidential election.

Harris' odds dropped to 47%. Last week, the site had Harris beating Trump, 51% to 46%.

I'm saying it's positive as I can. My mother who is handicapped calls Trump, her handsome boyfriend and I pray that he wins That would make her so happy.

It’s pretty standard for a Convention to provide a candidate a bit of a bounce in their popularity. But it’s unusual for the opposition candidate to be the one to get the bounce.

Who knows how the votes will come out but I’ll say this ...for a woman to win the presidency (cheating aside) she’ll have to project a lot of strength. Harris does not project strength.

Kommie Kamabla’s comments on price fixing was just too much for even much of the dems, WaPo, NYT and many others as they are ranting out just a couple days before the rat’s convention started. It’s all downhill from here...was totally wrong about riots though. Even the troublemakers backed off knowing it was a waste of time.

I think Shapiro would have told her not to do that. He is graring up for 28, but I don’t know if he can win the Nomination.

To know they/them is to loathe they/them. Better get your mind right or it’s off to the gulag for you! Do I need a sarcasm tag?

DJT stock popped nearly 10 percent today too.
If RFK Jr does in fact endorse trump that’s just as big a deal as Joe dropping out
