Donald Trump's odds of winning the 2024 U.S. presidential election have surged to a record 66.7% on Polymarket, leading Kamala Harris by 33 percentage points. This marks his largest lead since Harris entered the race. Significant bets by large investors, including a $2 million wager by a Polymarket whale and $70.6 million spent by 10 whales in October, have contributed to this surge. Polymarket's monthly volume has reached $1.9 billion amid soaring election predictions, with total betting volume exceeding $2.5 billion. Trump's odds increased notably after his rally at Madison Square Garden in New York. Meanwhile, Trump Media stock (DJT) has risen by 115% over the last month, correlating with his climbing election odds. With one week remaining until the election, early voting has started, but the outcome remains uncertain.
