Putin Supports Kamala Harris; Can it Alter Polymarket Odds?

Is this what Russian satire sounds like? Or is Vladimir Putin simply having the time of his life? Reports show that the Russian President and his government will support Kamala Harris’s bid for president and not Donald Trump.

In the Russian President’s own words, “Biden was our favorite but he dropped out of the race, he recommended that all his supporters support Harris, so we will too.” This is simply Putin playing Russian Roulette, a calculated gamble for what Kremlin really needs.

Since the war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, the West has allied itself against Russia, due to which the country has suffered economic sanctions, calling for the Kremlin to figure out a way to bypass the sanctions.

To that end, the President signed a bill that allows Russia to make cross-border payments using crypto. In September, Russia began trials for crypto payments. On the other hand, in a bid for financial freedom, Russia and the rest of the BRICS nations have pushed their economic bloc to new heights post-COVID-19.

As of now, there is a $800,283,913 bet on the “Presidential Election Winner 2024” segment on Polymarket. Donald Trump leads the bet with a 53% chance, while Kamala Harris follows with a 46% chance.
