The Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris urged Americans to write the "next chapter" for their country and end the "drama and conflict" in her closing speech in Washington DC on Tuesday (Oct 29).&nbsp;

While addressing thousands of people present at The Ellipse, the place where the US Capitol riots of January 6 started, Harris warned the voters against Trump's "lust for unchecked power."

"It is time to turn the page on the drama and the conflict, the fear and division. It is time for a new generation of leadership in America," the Democrat said.&nbsp;

Harris warned that the election was a choice between a "country rooted in freedom for every American, or ruled by chaos and division."

She reminded the crowd that Trump stood at the same spot nearly four years ago and "sent an armed mob" to the Capitol.

Further, Harris addressed one of her main weaknesses, the fact that some voters still see her as a continuation of Biden, who dropped out of the White House race in July.

Shares of Trump Media rallied more than 8 per cent on October 29 after whipsawing in the company’s heaviest and most volatile trading day since going public, according to a detailed report by CNBC.

The company is majorly owned by Donald Trump, which trades as DJT on the Nasdaq, experienced five separate halts within the first two hours of frenzied, high-volume trading.

Trump Media stock price action<o:p></o:p>

The first five-minute halt occurred at 9:36 am ET, when shares were trading up around 14 per cent. Trading was halted a second time at 9:42 am, with shares up nearly 9 per cent. The company was halted again at 9:50 am.

When it was halted for a fourth time at 10:21 am, the stock was down more than 2 per cent. Trading was halted again 10 minutes later. The stock then turned positive, and closed up 8.76 per cent at $51.51 per share.

Further, nearly 16 million Trump Media shares changed hands in the first 10 minutes of the trading day. By 10:15 am, the company had already surpassed its 30-day average trading volume of 35.1 million shares.

By 1:15 pm, Trump Media’s volume surpassed 134 million shares, the highest level since October 2021, when the then-private media company announced plans to merge with the blank-check firm known as DWAC.

The CNBC report further stated that merger was completed in late March, allowing the newly public Trump Media to trade on the Nasdaq. Trump Media’s current stock price remains below the company’s intraday peak from its trading debut.

Tuesday’s volatile session came after DJT stock had already surged more than 21 per cent on October 28, also on extremely heavy trading volume.

Those gains added to a pre-election stock rally that began in late September, after a months-long sell-off that dragged the company’s share price below $12. Just a few weeks later, Trump Media shares were trading at more than four times that price.

Trump Media stock has rallied by more than 200% in a month<o:p></o:p>

The stock as of October 29, morning was up 224 per cent so far this month, and is on pace for its best month since October 2021. The company’s stock now far exceeds its recent peak in mid-July, when its share price soared after the Republican presidential nominee narrowly survived an assassination attempt.

Trump owns nearly 57 per cent of the company, which operates the Truth Social platform. His stake at Monday’s closing price was worth upward of $5.4 billion, representing more than half of his on-paper net worth, according to Forbes. At the closing bell on October 29, the value of Trump’s stake had grown by nearly $500 million. Further, in-spite of losing hundreds of millions of dollars on scant revenue in recent fiscal quarters, Trump Media boasts a market capitalization above $10 billion.

Rally seen as a reaction to the upcoming US elections<o:p></o:p>

Prominent analysts believe the company’s many pro-Trump retail investors are buying its stock to support the former president, or bet on his odds of beating Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

The CNBC report further stated that, Monday’s surge followed Trump’s major campaign rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday. The company’s gains have also coincided with political betting markets, such as Polymarket and Kalshi, tilting toward Trump over Harris in recent weeks.

Odds and gambling platforms do not use the same methods used by traditional political polling, and therefore are not substitutes for political polls. Critics have raised concerns that the election betting markets are being manipulated.

Market participants and investors are going to closely follow these developments and the results of the upcoming US elections to take informed investments calls with regards to the Trump Media stock, as victory for the former President can propel the stock rally even more.

US Elections: Comedian's Joke On Puerto At Trump Event Sparks Controversy

Shares of Trump Media, the company behind the social media platform Truth Social, skyrocketed over 21 per cent on October 28, spurred by Donald Trump’s campaign rally in New York City.

According to a report by CNBC, the stock closed at $47.36 per share, surpassing its mid-July peak, which was fuelled by the heightened attention following a near-assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania. This earlier surge was followed by a significant sell-off, which saw the stock plummet to below $12 by late September.

However, the company made a remarkable recovery throughout October, coinciding with the intensifying presidential race against Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump, who owns nearly 57 per cent of Trump Media, saw the value of his stake rise to about $5.4 billion at Monday’s intraday high, reflecting an increase of around $4 billion since the stock’s September lows.

Despite these fluctuations, analysts have often pointed out that Trump Media’s market value and volatile stock performance are not primarily driven by company news or the platform's modest revenue and audience size. Instead, they suggest that the stock serves as a vehicle for pro-Trump retail investors to express their support for the former president and as a barometer for his chances of regaining the White House.

The recent surge in stock price appears to correlate with a renewed sense of enthusiasm among supporters after Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, which attracted thousands of attendees in a predominantly Democratic city. A user on Truth Social celebrated the rally, noting, “Our dear President @realDonaldTrump packs MSG yesterday for the Rally of a lifetime and TODAY, the entire market is UP UP UP!!! $DJT.”

Traditional polling indicates a close race<o:p></o:p>

This spike in stock value aligns with a shift in political betting markets, where Trump’s odds appear to be improving, even as traditional polling indicates a close race. Betting platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi use different methodologies than conventional polls, raising questions about their reliability as indicators of political outcomes.

Recent concerns have emerged about potential manipulation in the election betting markets. For instance, Polymarket reported that a single individual from France amassed a significant pro-Trump position on its presidential election bets through four separate accounts.

As the election approaches, the dynamics of Trump Media’s stock, its investor base, and the broader political landscape remain linked, reflecting the fervor surrounding Trump’s campaign. Still, with a close race, it is just a matter of few more days before the US has a new President.

BREAKING: Donald Trump Criticizes Kamala Harris In Media Blitz Ahead of US Elections 2024

With the United States presidential election just a week away, voters are eagerly waiting to cast their ballots for their favourite candidate, be it Democratic nominee Kamala Harris or Republican nominee Donald Trump, bidding goodbye to incumbent Joe Biden's presidency.&nbsp;

For the American citizens, it may not be that hard to choose their president, however, for the non-citizens, the situation might be complex to hold an opinion on the elections, on the basis of correct information.

<h2>Definition of a non-citizen in US&nbsp;</h2>

A non-citizen person in the United States is someone who has not been granted permanent US residence, as demonstrated by the issuance of a permanent residence card, known as the 'Green Card'.&nbsp;

One has to be an American&nbsp;citizen to vote in all federal elections, including the presidential elections.&nbsp;

<h2>Things to know about US elections as a non-citizen&nbsp;</h2>

One of the most important things as a non-citizen is to identify if you're consuming misinformation and how to get accurate information. For that, a non-citizen might have to dig deeper to find the correct information as compared to an American citizen.

One should know who the president, vice president, house speaker, chief justice, and the justices of the Supreme Court are. Moreover, as a citizen or a non-citizen, you should know who the governor is, the senators of your state, and who represents your district in the House of Representatives.&nbsp;

To find out about these government officials, you can refer to the official websites of the White House, the US House Speaker, the US Supreme Court, and the US Senate.&nbsp;

Spotting misinformation is another important thing. Checking&nbsp;information on reliable news websites is the easiest way. However, before believing anything, read the source of the information, check for the dates, and most importantly, look at other reports to cross-verify whether the information is factually correct or not.

<h2>Penalties for non-citizens who illegally try to vote&nbsp;</h2>

It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in the federal elections or state elections. The federal voter registration form asks the registrars to affirm under penalty of perjury that they are eligible citizens.&nbsp;

People who try to illegally vote in the elections could be fined, imprisoned, or deported. They might also lose the ability to ever become US citizens.

US Election 2024: Why Pennsylvania Could Sway The Presidential Polls

The performance by a comedian at a rally of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump sparked a backlash after he called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage".&nbsp;

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe was among some of the celebrities who performed at the event held at Madison Square Garden in New York. His jokes were not taken in good taste by many because of their leaning towards racist&nbsp;stereotypes.

The backlash erupted at a time when one of the top Latin celebrities of the world, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.&nbsp;

Hinchcliffe, whose stage name is Kill Tony, in his joke said, "There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico."

Trump comes under fire after comedian calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage' at his rally

The last presidential elections&nbsp;in the United States were held&nbsp;on November 3, 2020, when the world was battling the global coronavirus pandemic.

The elections resulted in Democrat&nbsp;nominee Joe Biden&nbsp;emerging as the winner and the then-incumbent president Donald Trump facing a defeat.

Biden became the 46th president of the United States after garnering more than 81 million votes. The voter turnout&nbsp;by percentage was the highest in this election since 1900.

However, Trump refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory and claimed that the election was rigged without any specific evidence.&nbsp;

The baseless claims ignited anger among the supporters of Trump who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in an incident which was etched in history as a moment when democracy was brought to its knees in the United States.

<h2>The US Capitol attack</h2>

It was the same day when the Electoral College results were scheduled to be ceremoniously reported to Congress.

However, unlike what was planned, around 2,500 people barged inside the Capitol Building and looted and vandalised the government offices.&nbsp;

The Capitol Police officers and reporters were also assaulted by the rioters and lawmakers were harmed. People erected a gallows west of the Capitol amid chants of "Hang Mike Pence" – the then-vice president – because he rejected Trump’s requests to not certify the election results.

In the next 36 hours, six people were killed and several others were injured. Trump's provocative speech was said to have triggered the mob who had invaded the Capitol and he was impeached by the House of Representatives for “inciting violence against the government of the United States".&nbsp;

<h2>Trump's era comes to an end</h2>

The elections led to the end of the era of Donald Trump in Washington DC. The camera-hungry president decided to leave the capital a few hours earlier than the time he was left to avoid the humiliation of seeing his opponent's swearing-in ceremony.

How US presidential elections in 2020 led to Capitol attack which sent democracy into throes?

In the Madison Square Garden rally of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, Tesla owner Elon Musk showed up to extend his support to the former president.&nbsp;

During the rally on Monday (Oct 28), Musk was seen wearing a hat on which was written "Make America Great Again" in a font which appeared to be Nazi typography, said a report by FastCompany Magazine.

“I’m dark gothic MAGA,” Musk had said in the rally.&nbsp;

The hat, which triggered a controversy, had the MAGA message on it, which was associated with Donald Trump. The message appeared to have been written in jagged, gothic-looking letters, however, social media users said that it appeared to be a type of “blackletter” or Nazi font.

The Fraktur font was used in Nazi propaganda and also in Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.&nbsp;

Managing editor of Fonts In Use typography archive Florian Hardwig said that the font was disavowed by the Nazis after rumours spread about it being created by a Jewish person.

Although it was out of style, it was popular as Nazi ideology's very evocative marker among the layman. This is why its presence on Musk's hat incited shock among many users.

US Elections 2024: Was Musk sporting a MAGA hat with ‘Nazi font’ at Trump rally?

The presidential elections of 2016 in the United States were said to have delivered the most shocking results in modern political history when Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.

A Republican presidential candidate, Trump in the most unexpected turn became the fifth US presidential candidate who had won the Electoral College but lost the overall popular vote.&nbsp;

This happened because opponent Hillary Clinton clinched some major victories in heavily-populated states like New York and California and Trump had won four states with a margin of 1.2 percentage points or less.

Soon after the results were out, Trump took to the stage to give his victory speech. “I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans. For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so we can work together and unify our great country," he said in a conciliatory tone.

The experts had earlier predicted that he wouldn't run for elections but Trump did. It was then believed he wouldn't climb in the elections, which he again did. His wins in primaries and clinching of the Republican nomination were also predicted wrongly and so was his victory.

<h2>Why did Hillary Clinton lose the 2016 elections?</h2>

According to experts, various reasons led to the defeat of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Hillary Clinton did have a major lead in the popular vote, however, the presidents were decided on the basis of the Electoral College which was in favour of Trump.

In the 2016 elections, the overall voter turnout was almost the same as that in the 2012 elections. 128.5 million voter turnout was recorded in 2016 and 129.2 million voter turnout in 2012.&nbsp;

As per experts, a major part of the voters were not happy with the choice of candidates which led to Trump coming to the helm of power.

Clinton was also criticised for not failing to fire up the Obama Coalition which may have pushed some more votes in her favour.

The main reason behind Trump's victory was said to be his flipping big margins with working-class and white voters in the Midwest and Pennsylvania.

US Elections 2016: The dawn of the Trump era and the fall of Democrats

As United States presidential elections are around the corner, Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are locked in a neck-to-neck race.&nbsp;

One week ahead of election day, November 5, more than 43 million ballots have been cast across 47 states and the District of Columbia, according to data collected by CNN, Edison Research, and Catalist.&nbsp;

The pre-election voting across the US is more than a quarter of the roughly 158 million votes cast for US presidential elections in 2020.&nbsp;

<h2>How to avoid long lines on poll day?</h2>

Early voting has made the election process easier by helping voters avoid these long queues and also giving more flexibility to those who might not be able to make it to the polling station&nbsp;on election day.&nbsp;

However, early voting also works differently for different states. Casey Burgat, director of the Legislative Affairs Program at George Washington University said, “We just say ‘early’ as this catch-all term, but sometimes it's months in advance, sometimes it's a few weeks, and then [there are] even the differences in [state] processes.”

In terms of precautionary measures, voters should keep in mind that there will be lines at certain times at early voting sites and election day polling stations. For that, they should come in comfortable shoes, bring a chair if you have difficulty standing, and also pack water to keep yourself hydrated while standing in the lines.

Moreover, he is also likely to resume his podcast &nbsp;"Bannon's War Room" on Tuesday.&nbsp;

Bannon was sent to prison on July 1 after the US Supreme&nbsp;Court rejected his attempt to delay the prison sentence while he appealed against his conviction.&nbsp;

The jury found him guilty of two counts in 2022, one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the&nbsp;January 6 House committee and a second for not providing the documents related to his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential elections.

While serving his sentence, he called himself a "political prisoner".&nbsp;

“I am proud of going to prison,” Bannon&nbsp;said at the time, adding that he was standing up to the US Attorney General Merrick Garland, and a “corrupt” justice department.

He added that there was "no chance" Democrats could win the coming election unless "they’re stealing it."

Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon released after serving four months in prison, week ahead of election day

As the 2024 U.S. elections approach, millions of Americans are taking advantage of early voting, casting their ballots ahead of Election Day. This surge in participation reflects growing engagement and interest in the electoral process, as voters aim to have their voices heard and make their choices before the final day of voting.

USA Elections 2024: Millions Of Americans Cast Ballots Ahead Of Election Day

With a compelling track record of predicting the economy, Christophe Barraud has taken an interest in the upcoming 2024 US presidential elections. The top economist said in an interview that growth is expected to pick up pace after the election results are out. This is because companies will be able to make bigger decisions once they are certain about the changes likely to happen in the economy, leading to an increase in GDP of the country.

<h2>What Christophe Barraud predicts for US 2024 elections</h2>

Ranked as number one economist by Bloomberg, Barraud has forecast&nbsp;three possible outcomes of the US elections, according to Business Insider.

In the first scenario, if Vice President Kamala Harris wins the upcoming elections with a split in Congress, not much will change for the US economy. In this case, Barraud predicts things will remain the same.

In the second scenario, former president Donald Trump wins but Congress is divided, Trump will not be able to easily cut taxes for businesses and households. This will lead him to focus on foreign policies that will likely result in trade restrictions and tariffs being implemented. Outcome of this will not affect the US economy in the short term. However, it may affect the global economy, and may prove harmful for the US in the long run, according to Business Insider.

Barraud’s third and most likely scenario is predicted to be Trump wins with a Republican majority. In this case, Trump might cut taxes for companies and households and will likely focus more on domestic policies. This may leave a positive impact on the US economy in the short term, with an expected rise of 2.1 to 2.3 per cent in 2025.

However, Barraud highlights a concern that in case Trump is elected and implements tax cuts,&nbsp;it may result in revenue shortfalls. The 10-year Treasury bond may rise to at least 4.5 per cent from the current 4.23 per cent. If Trump doesn’t get a majority in Congress, the bond could increase to 4.35 per cent, while if he wins by majority, the bond may go as high as 5 per cent. This will happen as investors may seek a higher risk premium, especially if Trump toughens the immigration policy in a healthy job market that will result in more inflation.
