'Rude and arrogant' mystery Gambler Makes Huge $30 Million Bet On Trump​


Several mysterious millionaires have placed huge bets on online prediction markets in the past couple days - all of it in favor of a Donald Trump win - triggering wild speculation about who is behind the massive wagering spike.

Political prediction platforms have become all the rage in the 2024 campaign cycle and are closely followed by campaigns as a way to monitor candidate support akin to more traditional polling.

Over the course of the campaign cycle Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have swung in popularity as options, and many have taken to checking their odds as a sort of poll.


Polymarket, one of the most popular of these election prediction sites, allows users to wager on whether they believe Trump or Harris will win the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

But in the past 72 hours the crypto-powered network has had some unidentifiable high rollers throwing at least $30 million behind Trump, potentially swaying the results and raising questions as to who is behind it.

Polymarket - which bills itself as the largest prediction market in the world - is a decentralized crypto platform where users can wager on things like elections and other political events. As the platform's popularity has risen it has been increasingly referenced as a poll

But there are major questions as to the reliability of the platform as an indicator of who will win.

It can only be accessed outside the U.S., requires crypto to place a wager, and only boasts roughly 100,000 users this month - a fraction of the 244 million Americans eligible to vote.

They may try to go ahead and tax him on those “unrealized gains”.

That Summer. It’s a joke about how people these days find things, take them out of context and have selective outrage. That’s all. Add in Garth’s current trouble and it popped in my head. It’s a swing and a miss.

I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana!
And though I'm out on the highway
My thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a woman and a child
Strange situation stoppin' every hundred miles
Callin' Baton Rouge

Endangered Democrats brag about Trump ties in final stretch​


Some of the most vulnerable Democratic senators in this election are using the closing stretch to boast about their ties to former President Trump.

Driving the news: Sens. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) and Bob Casey (D-Penn.) both released ads on Friday that include images of Trump — and not to bash him, according to an Axios analysis of ads in AdImpact.

Democrats invoking the Threat to Democracy himself in campaign ads? That’s weird….

  • "Casey bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China to stop them from cheating," the Casey campaign ad states.
  • "Tammy Baldwin got President Trump to sign her Made in America bill," says the narrator in Baldwin's ad.
  • Rep. Elissa Slotkin's (D-Mich.) campaign for Senate also spent more than a $1 million starting mid-August on an ad saying she "wrote a law signed by President Trump forcing drug companies to show their actual prices," according to AdImpact.
