posted on Polymarket’s X account, Trump referred to the platform as “a new phenomenon gambling poll,” mistakenly calling it Poly-Poll.” “I’ve never heard of it,” Trump stated, while someone in the audience corrected him about the platform’s name. Trump said he had a large advantage over his main rival, Democratic candidate Kamal Harris in Polymarket. “And we’re… I guess at 68 to 38, 36, something like that. So that’s not bad, I don’t know what the hell it means but it means that we’re doing pretty well,” Trump assessed.
