RFK Jr. Bows Out, Trump Takes the Lead:
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has decided that running for president is like trying to finish a Netflix series when your Wi-Fi is acting up — not worth the hassle. He’s officially dropped out of the 2024 race, leaving many to wonder if he’s about to buddy up with Donald Trump.
RFK Jr. is set to make an announcement in Arizona that might include some bromance vibes for the former president. Trump has already floated the idea of giving RFK Jr. a role in his administration, proving that politics really does make for strange bedfellows.
Over on Polymarket, Trump is now the frontrunner, with 51% of users betting on him to win. Kamala Harris, who was leading the odds last week, has seen her chances slide down to 47%.
The crypto community, watching this race like it’s the next big memecoin launch, is particularly interested in what this all means for future regulations.
After all, the U.S. has a pretty big say in global crypto standards.
RFK Jr.’s earlier promises to back the U.S. dollar with $BTC made him a crypto darling, but now, with his sights possibly set on a Trump partnership, the industry is left wondering what’s next.
Will Trump go full Bitcoin maxi? Only time (and possibly a few more Polymarket bets) will tell!
