Kamala Harris Emerges as Democratic Front-Runner After Biden’s Exit
Following weeks of speculation, President Joe Biden has officially withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as his successor.
This move could either boost Donald Trump’s prospects or undermine them, depending on how the situation unfolds.
Biden’s decision was supported by prominent Democrats like Hillary Clinton, although the party could still consider alternative candidates, potentially including the Governor of California. BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes suggests that if the Democrats nominate someone other than Harris, Trump might face greater difficulty.

Harris, who has yet to publicly state her position on cryptocurrencies, is known for her connections in the tech sector but has not expressed a specific stance on crypto policy. The current administration, which she is part of, has generally adopted a cautious approach towards the crypto industry.
Financial records reveal that neither Harris nor her spouse holds cryptocurrency investments, preferring traditional assets like Treasury bonds. In betting markets, Harris’s chances against Trump are reportedly higher than Biden’s were, with Trump’s odds decreasing from 70% to 64%.
