Donald Trump

Elon Musk

Donald Trump is gaining ground in the presidential race against Kamala Harris, increasing his odds by 3 percentage points on Polymarket, a prediction platform. After his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he appeared with billionaire Elon Musk, Trump now has a 51% chance of winning, while Harris stands at 48%. 
During the rally, Musk urged supporters to back Trump, emphasizing the significance of the upcoming election as “the most important election of our lifetime.” He criticized the Democrats, claiming they threaten free speech and constitutional rights. Musk’s endorsement appears to have energized Trump’s base, reflecting in the latest Polymarket figures.

 We have one president who couldn’t climb the stairs and another who is fist pumping after getting shot, Fight Fight Fight, blood coming down the face. America is home of the brave. Who do you want representing America? <cite>Elon Musk, </cite>
</blockquote> 
Everyone at the rally shouted with Trump’s name when Elon asked them who should be president. Elon continued the speech, saying he thinks this election is the most important election of America’s lifetime. This is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. 
Trump also highlighted his resilience since surviving an <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/15/trumps-election-odds-soar-after-assassination-attempt-polymarket/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">assassination attempt</a> in Butler, asserting that the gunman “did not break our spirit.” He reiterated his commitment to making America great again and claimed the Democratic Party sought to undermine American values. 
The rally attracted tens of thousands of supporters, who chanted “Fight, fight, fight,” echoing Trump’s post-shooting sentiments from July when a supporter was tragically killed. The event showcased Trump’s characteristic rhetoric on immigration, crime, and the 2020 election, despite ongoing controversies surrounding his claims. 
As the election campaign heats up, the race remains tightly contested. Harris currently leads Trump in several polls, with Pennsylvania showing an average margin of just 0.6 points.&nbsp; 
However, Musk’s involvement at the rally may have shifted the dynamics in Trump’s favor, highlighting the influence of high-profile endorsements in a closely watched election season.
