Former President Donald Trump invited reporters to his New Jersey golf club Thursday for his second news conference in as many weeks. It is scheduled for 4:30 pm EDT.
Hours before the news conference was slated to begin, Trump’s campaign leaders announced they were expanding his staff, bringing a number of former aides and outside advisers formally into the fold. Corey Lewandowski, Taylor Budowich, Alex Pfeiffer, Alex Bruesewitz and Tim Murtaugh will advise the campaign’s senior leadership.
Lewandowski was Trump’s first campaign manager during his 2016 campaign. Budowich and Pfeiffer are moving over from MAGA Inc., a pro-Trump super PAC. Bruesewitz produces pro-Trump content for a large social media following. And Murtaugh was the communications director for Trump’s 2020 campaign.
Trump is currently sitting at +105 odds compared to Vice President Kamala Harris at -135 odds. Harris is the presumptive Democratic nominee.
A highly touted interview between Trump and X owner Elon Musk did little to move the former president's odds in either direction.
Polymarket, which does not accept bets from those in the US, released a number of prop bets on what Trump will say during this press conference, with 78% backing his mention of MAGA and 78% also on Trump mentioning illegal immigrants.
Donald Trump is scheduled to conduct a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at 4:30PM ET.
This market will resolve to "Yes" if Trump says "MAGA" or "Make America Great Again" during his press conference currently scheduled for August 15. Otherwise, the market will resolve to "No". If the press conference is permanently canceled or delayed beyond August 22, 2024, 11:59 PM ET this market will resolve to "No".
Any usage of the word regardless of context will count toward the resolution of this market.
Pluralization/possessive of the word will count toward the resolution of this market, however other forms will NOT count.
Compound words will count as long as "MAGA" is part of the compound word and references the meaning which refers to making America great again (e.g. "MAGA-themed" counts).
The resolution source will be the live video/audio stream of the press conference.
