Kamala Harris's 'Whale Trader' Now Up $1.2 Million, Predicts 'Data Still Pointing To A Trump Presidency But It's Not Wise To Offload Shares'

Zinger Key Points
  • Trader Redegen makes a bold play on Kamala Harris winning the popular vote, diverging from Polymarket’s pro-Trump sentiment.
  • Polymarket currently projects a 74% chance for Harris to win the popular vote and a 58% chance for Trump to secure the presidency.

Pseudonymous prediction market trader ‘Redegen’ is predicting a Donald Trump presidency coupled with a popular vote win for Kamala Harris, going against his publicly shared position.

What Happened: Redegen on Sunday shared his “final forecast” for the U.S. presidential election, asserting that Polymarket is "systemically overweighting" Trump and "underweighting" Harris. Despite a prediction for Trump to win the electoral college, the trader has longed Kamala Harris, stating "Our data still points to a Trump presidency, but it's not wise to offload shares on Polymarket given the systemic overweighting."

Redegen's portfolio includes 9.2 million shares on Harris winning the popular vote and 2.6 million on her winning the presidency. The trader is now up over $1.2 million in unrealized profit on their position.
