Listen "Happy Election Day from Current2"
Episode Synopsis
As the presidential election nears, betting markets have narrowed between Trump and Biden, with platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket seeing a surge in activity. Election officials are preparing for potential protests during the December Electoral College meetings, expecting heightened security. In Pennsylvania, a judge allowed Elon Musk’s $1 million giveaway to continue despite legal challenges. Trump, campaigning for a second term, proposed placing Herschel Walker in charge of a new missile defense system, aimed at protecting the U.S. from threats like North Korea and Russia. Meanwhile, in Gaza, an Israeli airstrike on Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the few medical facilities still operating, has worsened the region’s healthcare crisis.
