In a latest development, Donald Trump has announced plans of holding a press conference on Thursday, August 8, at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Trump confirmed the press conference, which was scheduled for 2 P.M. today, on his social media platform, Truth Social. He wrote, “I will be doing a General News Conference at 2:00 P.M. at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach. Thank you!”

Harris Giving A Tough Fight!

Recently, Kamala Harris’ odds of winning the election rose to a new all-time high amid recent support from the crypto industry, according to prediction markets. Polymarket prediction market data shows that Kamala Harris’ odds of winning the presidential election are slowly picking speed. According to the latest bets, the odds for Harris increased by 2% to hit an all-time high of 46% and Donald Trump’s chances dropped by 1% to 52. The recent increase in popularity of Kamala Harris among crypto executives and pro-crypto investors has raised concerns for the crypto community. 

According to a report from Reuters, a little over two weeks ago, Trump’s presidential campaign who had visions of an expansive national strategy that would result in a landslide victory in November, now struggle to blunt a surging Kamala Harris, who swiftly replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate last month. According to the report, many sources see Harris as a far tougher opponent than Biden.
