Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has overtaken Republican nominee Donald Trump in Polymarket’s 2024 U.S. presidential election forecast.

According to a “Presidential Election Winner 2024” poll, Harris is now leading Trump 50 percent to 49 percent.

The two candidates have been neck and neck on the site in recent weeks, with Harris receiving a boost in popularity following her debate performance earlier this week.

According to an additional poll voted on by Polymarket betters, the former top prosecutor “won” the highly-anticipated debate that saw political arguments often devolve into personal criticisms of each respective Oval Office hopeful.

Trump, however, has since argued that he performed better than his opposition at the debate and formally ruled out debating Harris again.

The former reality television star has frequently touted his love for digital assets on the campaign trail, even promising to make the United States “the crypto capital of the planet.”

Similarly, the one-time U.S. president has vowed to deliver on crypto-friendly regulations and fire current United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler.

“We will have regulations, but from now on, the rules will be written by the people who love your industry, not hate your industry,” he told audiences at the Bitcoin 2024 Conference in Nashville over the summer.
