<p>The second U.S. presidential debate is expected to air on ABC on Tuesday, September 10, 2024. During the first debate in July, then-Democratic candidate Joe Biden had a disastrous outing. The sitting U.S. president went on to withdraw from the race a few weeks later, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://crypto.news/kamala-harris-bidens-exits-political-meme-coins-react/">endorsing</a> his VP Kamala Harris.</p>
<p>Both campaigns have expressed confidence in outperforming the other. However, traders on Polymarket believe post-debate polls will show Harris as victorious against Trump.</p>

<p>If the poll shows Trump as the winner, the bet will resolve likewise. A 50-50 resolution will occur if the Ipsos/538 poll indicates an equal result.</p>

The picture is also similar on Polymarket, where traders currently have their money on Trump at 52% compared to 47% for Harris.</p>
