Subject: RE: BS: American Presidential race 2024
It seems to me that the discourse is all about Trump; even Kamala is speaking about Trump a lot of the time. And terrifyingly, the "prediction markets" - the gambling odds on US elections - give Trump a far higher chance: "Bets on Kalshi, which recently won court approval to allow election betting in the country for the first time, give Trump a 55 percent chance of winning, versus 45 percent for Harris. Polymarket has the race at 56 to 44, while PredictIt shows them at 54 to 49."
