Election Week News Recap 📢📢📢 After following the 2024 presidential elections closely for months, and intensely last week, the MediaTroopers team is taking this weekend to rest and reflect. 🤔💡🤓. We had in our team supporters of both camps, but the magnitude of the results took us all by surprise. 🎢 So now, it's time to relax a bit and look back in retrospect at that crazy week we all had. 👉🏻 The long-awaited Presidential Election Day has now been and gone, with Donald Trump set to return to the White House for a second term. Amid the media frenzy filled with polling data, this year’s election also marked a historic shift for the gambling industry. 👉🏻 For the first time in decades, legal betting on election outcomes was available in the U.S. after a court ruling in September lifted a ban by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This decision paved the way for prediction market Kalshi to operate as the first federally regulated exchange in the country to allow trades on event outcomes. It’s safe to say that the change drew in bettors nationwide. 🏀 Magic Johnson analyzes Harris/Trump in a sports-style ad Ahead of election day, Kamala Harris teamed up with NBA legend Magic Johnson to launch a sports-themed campaign ad comparing the candidates as if they were rival sports teams. 🏈🎮Harris boosts outreach to young male voters in final stretch In the campaign's last days, Kamala Harris ramped up her efforts to win over the younger male demographic, which had shown strong support for Trump. Her running mate, Tim Walz, hosted a Twitch livestream playing the video game Madden NFL 25. 🤵🏻♂️🤵🏽♀️Celebrities share their reactions to Trump’s election victory After it was revealed that the Republican candidate would become the 47th U.S. president on Wednesday, several celebrities shared their responses to the outcome. Musician Billie Eilish said the president’s victory was “a war on women,” while Tesla founder Elon Musk praised the news and hailed his high hopes for the future. 💰 Election bettors anticipate $450 million in winnings after Trump win Thousands of bettors who gambled on Trump are looking forward to around $450 million in payouts from online prediction markets. While crypto-based platform Polymarket did not share information on the number of bets placed on the site, Kalshi disclosed that around 28,000 people had bet on a Harris win, while 40,000 bet on Trump. 📲 Kalshi and Polymarket rise to the top of the App Store charts This week, prediction market apps Kalshi and Polymarket surged to the top of the Apple App Store charts, overtaking major platforms like TikTok and Instagram. In line with a recent prediction from Kalshi’s CEO Tarek Mansour, the app reached the number one spot, while Polymarket secured second on the list of the most downloaded free apps.
