As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are closely contesting key swing states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Harris has accused Trump of seeking unchecked power and sowing division, while she advocates for lowering living costs and inclusivity. Betting markets currently show Trump with a slight edge over Harris, with economic stakes high as trade and immigration policies are expected to influence market performance. The Democratic challenge in Texas, with Colin Allred running against Ted Cruz, mirrors the party's attempts to capitalize on changing voter demographics in traditionally Republican areas. Both candidates are working to energize their bases, with significant early voter turnout indicating a highly engaged electorate.
