Renowned statistician and pollster Nate Silver has been appointed as an advisor to the cryptocurrency-based prediction market, Polymarket. The move comes as the platform aims to broaden its forecasting around news events.
What Happened: Polymarket has enlisted Silver&#8217;s expertise to enhance its forecasts around news events, according to a <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/07/16/nate-silver-polymarket">report </a>by Axios. The decision aligns with the growing trend of Americans turning to prediction markets to navigate through turbulent news cycles, and the increasing reference to prediction odds by news outlets for the outcomes of news events, especially elections.
Nate Silver&nbsp;founded&nbsp;FiveThirtyEight, which has been used to predict the outcomes of&nbsp;several presidential elections.

Launched in 2020, Polymarket is a decentralized prediction market that allows users to bet on major global events using cryptocurrencies. Users can buy or sell outcome shares, which can be redeemed for $1 if the outcome is correct, and become worthless if it's incorrect.
The platform has rapidly emerged as one of the world&#8217;s top prediction markets for U.S. elections. However, it currently does not allow U.S. users to place trades based on its predictions.
Why It Matters: His appointment to Polymarket comes in the wake of his recent predictions about the 2024 elections. Last month, Silver <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39519001/donald-trump-could-secure-absolute-majority-in-2024-election-says-polling-expert-not-sure-biden-has">suggested that Donald Trump could secure an absolute majority in the 2024 election</a>. He noted that the reasons favoring Trump&#8217;s win have gradually become more compelling than those for Biden.
Meanwhile on Polymarket, the odds of President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race has soared from 33% to 66% in the last 24 hours, amid confirmation <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/39829417/biden-gets-covid-19-takes-a-fiesty-dig-at-tesla-ceo-im-sick-of-elon-musk-and-his-rich-buddies-trying">from the White House that he has tested positive for Covid-19</a>. Earlier today he said he&#8217;d consider dropping out if he had a &#8220;medical condition.&#8221;

Odds of Biden Dropping Out Of Race Surge To 66% — Pollster Nate Silver Joins Crypto-Based Prediction Market Polymarket

In the lead-up to a rally of former President Donald Trump, where a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39761846/trump-left-bloodied-after-shots-fired-at-pennsylvania-rally-evacuated-by-secret-service">shooting incident</a> took place, local law enforcement had reportedly cautioned the Secret Service about their inability to provide adequate security.
What Happened: Local police had informed the Secret Service about their lack of resources to station a patrol car outside a key building where the shooter later positioned himself and fired at Trump, as confirmed by local and federal law enforcement and Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/07/17/secret-service-trump-rally-shooting-homeland-security-investigation/">reported</a> The Washington Post.
Butler County, Pa., District Attorney Richard Goldinger stated that the Secret Service was notified that the local police department was short-staffed and couldn&#8217;t assist with securing the building. The building, the Agr International building complex, had a clear view of the rally stage less than 150 yards away, where Trump would later stand.

Trump: Post-Debate Popularity Poll Reveals Unexpected Results For This Candidate</a>
Approximately 20 to 30 minutes before the shooting, local police inside the building warned the Secret Service security team via radio about a suspicious individual with a golf range finder and backpack. The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to reach the building&#8217;s roof.
The incident has raised concerns about the Secret Service&#8217;s planning and security provisions for the high-stakes presidential campaign visit. The security lapses are currently under multiple federal investigations, and there are calls for Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to step down.
Why It Matters: The shooting incident, which left Trump bloodied and was swiftly evacuated by the Secret Service, has been a source of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39779392/secret-service-failure-to-prevent-trump-shooting-under-scrutiny-by-democrats-republicans-we-cant-all">intense scrutiny</a> for the Secret Service.
Despite the criticism, Secret Service Director Cheatle has announced that she will not resign from her position. In an interview with ABC News, Cheatle acknowledged the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39784760/secret-service-director-kimberly-cheatle-says-the-buck-stops-with-me-on-trump-assassination-attempt">severity of the incident</a> and accepted responsibility, stating, &#8220;The buck stops with me.&#8221;

Trump Rally Security: Secret Service Was Informed Of Police Inability To Watch Sniper Location

The White House has confirmed that President Biden has tested positive for COVID-19. Despite experiencing mild symptoms, the President will continue to fulfill his duties while self-isolating in Delaware. Biden took the opportunity, however, to take a dig at Tesla CEO Elon Musk and other billionaires for &#8220;funding&#8221; Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign
What Happened: The president said on X, &#8220;I&#8217;m Sick&#8221; and then went on to add, &#8220;of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.&#8221; He also added a donate link to his post to fundraise for his own campaign.

Biden developed upper respiratory symptoms, including a runny nose and a cough, which led to a COVID-19 test. His doctor confirmed the positive result and stated that Biden&#8217;s symptoms remain mild, with normal respiratory rate and temperature. PCR confirmation testing is pending, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4778560-biden-tests-positive-for-covid-19/">reported</a> The Hill.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) also criticized Musk&#8217;s reported monthly donations to Trump&#8217;s campaign, emphasizing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39807458/bernie-sanders-slams-elon-musks-reported-45m-donations-to-trump-campaign-we-need-a-government-that-r">need for public election funding</a>.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have intensified their oversight of the <a href="http://benzinga.com/cannabis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">cannabis</a> industry, issuing another round of warning letters to companies on Tuesday. The businesses are accused of selling products infused with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/01/36584043/real-weed-or-a-lab-high-delta-8-and-delta-9-thc-explained" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hemp-derived cannabinoids</a>, such as delta-8 THC, in packaging deceptively resembling popular children's snacks.
This move marks the second consecutive year of such actions, signaling a tightening grip on deceptive marketing practices.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">FTC Targets Deceptive THC Edibles Marketing</h3>
&#8220;Companies that market and sell edible THC products that are easily mistaken for snacks and candy are not only acting illegally, but they are also putting the health of young children at risk,&#8221; Samuel Levine, director of FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection <a href="https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-ftc-continue-joint-effort-protect-consumers-against-companies-illegally-selling-copycat-delta-8" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stated</a> in a press release. As Hemp Today <a href="https://hemptoday.net/federal-ban-on-delta-8-other-hemp-derived-intoxicants-could-come-as-early-as-october/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">notes</a>, this regulatory spotlight aligns with concerns over delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, THC-O-acetate, HHC, THCP, and hemp-derived THCA &#8211; substances gaining notoriety for their psychoactive effects yet slipping through legislative cracks.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Congress Debates Hemp Cannabinoid Ban</h3>
Simultaneously, a heated debate is unfolding in Congress about the future legality of consumable hemp-based cannabinoid products. Proposals in recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39698531/gop-led-congressional-committee-passes-bill-to-block-cannabis-rescheduling-deny-state-protection" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">House-approved appropriations legislation</a> and the forthcoming Farm Bill <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/39006814/house-committee-approval-of-amendment-eliminating-90-of-hemp-dervied-products-could-drive-wedge-" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">hint at a potential nationwide ban</a>. These legislative actions are compounded by concerns over unregulated cannabis products that make unauthorized health claims.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Unknown Compounds From Hemp Conversion Found In Tests</h3>
Amidst this regulatory and legislative flux, a new concern arises from the discovery of numerous unknown compounds in marijuana testing samples, <a href="https://mjbizdaily.com/unknown-compounds-found-in-cannabis-testing-samples-lab-owners-say/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> by MJBizDaily. These compounds are believed to originate from the process of converting hemp-derived cannabinoids into delta-8 and delta-9 THC. &#8220;These are chemical side reactions,&#8221; explained Susan Audino, a chemist and independent consultant to chemical laboratories.
Josh Swider, CEO of Infinite Chemical Analysis Labs said, &#8220;You'll see 60 unknown compounds in there. Some of them get identified, but all of them are never found. That is telling you that you're now adding other compounds that we never found in cannabis, and now people are smoking it. It's a very common thing going on around the country.

FDA Accuses Companies Of Marketing Cannabis Products To Children Amid Debate On Hemp Cannabinoids Ban

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear is urging the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to ease <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39715542/biden-administration-give-us-more-insight-on-marijuana-rescheduling-decision-congressional-commi">restrictions on marijuana. </a>
In a recent letter addressed to DEA administrator Anne Milgram, Beshear advocated for the reclassification of cannabis from a Schedule I drug, which includes substances like heroin and LSD, to a Schedule III drug, where ketamine and anabolic steroids are listed, Cannabis Business Times <a href="https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/news/dea-reschedule-marijuana-schedule-iii-when-kentucky-governor-andy-beshear-controlled-substances/">reported.</a>
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39277690/dea-vs-biden-fda-health-agency-over-cannabis-rescheduling-whats-up-with-that">DEA Vs. Biden, FDA &amp; Health Agency Over Cannabis Rescheduling: What&#8217;s Up With That?</a>
&#8220;The jury is no longer out on marijuana: It has medical uses and is currently being used for medical purposes,&#8221; Beshear wrote. &#8220;The recognition is overwhelming – and bipartisan. For example, I signed a medical marijuana law that passed with support from Republican legislative supermajorities and a Democratic Governor.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Medical Marijuana In Kentucky</h3>
Kentucky&#8217;s approach to medical marijuana has evolved significantly under Beshear&#8217;s administration. The governor signed a medical marijuana law that passed with bipartisan support, highlighting the broad acceptance of cannabis&#8217;s medicinal benefits.
Beshear&#8217;s letter comes at a crucial time, with the new medical cannabis program set to go into effect on January 1, 2025. This program aims to provide safe, regulated medical marijuana products to improve the lives of Kentuckians with significant medical conditions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Case For Rescheduling Cannabis</h3>
The primary distinction between Schedule I and Schedule III drugs lies in their medical value and potential for abuse. Schedule I drugs are deemed to have no medical value and a high potential for abuse, whereas Schedule III drugs have accepted medical uses and a lower potential for abuse. 
According to DEA scheduling practices, marijuana is absurdly classified as more dangerous than fentanyl, oxycodone and methamphetamine. 
Beshear&#8217;s argument is bolstered by data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which estimated that 84,181 people died from opioid overdoses in 2022. In contrast, the DEA has not reported any deaths directly attributable to marijuana use.
However, a 2023 study from Florida Atlantic University highlighted that synthetic cannabinoids, which are often more potent and dangerous than natural cannabis, have been linked to 386 deaths between 2014 and 2020.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Potential Benefits For Kentuckians</h3>
Beshear emphasized the potential benefits of rescheduling marijuana for Kentuckians, particularly as an alternative to opioids and a means to reduce crime and illicit drug use. &#8220;
As Governor, my job is to move our state forward,&#8221; Beshear stated. &#8220;Rescheduling marijuana to Schedule III is a significant, common-sense step forward for all Kentuckians, especially those with significant medical conditions.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead</h3>
Kentucky&#8217;s new medical cannabis program is set to launch in 2025, promising to bring relief to thousands of residents suffering from various medical conditions. 
&#8220;We look forward to seeing how safe medical marijuana products will reduce the suffering and improve the lives of tens of thousands of Kentuckians when our program launches,&#8221; Beshear wrote.

Kentucky Gov Andy Beshear To DEA: Reschedule Cannabis 'Marijuana Products Will Reduce Suffering'

The facilities, reportedly functioning as fronts for the distribution of cannabis other substances were shut down early Wednesday in what officials describe as one of the largest busts seen by New York Police Dept. (NYPD) and Sheriff&#8217;s Office recently.
The raid comes as part of city-wide clean-up operation, known as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38875243/nyc-mayor-adams-on-the-weed-warpath-6m-in-fines-75-closures-4000-illicit-shop-violations-in-firs">Operation Padlock</a>, which has been underway since May of this year.
It is believed that the total illicit cannabis selling shops functioning in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-york-cannabis">NYC</a> amounts to 3600. On ABC7&#8217;s Eyewitness, NYPD chief of patrol John Chell <a href="https://abc7ny.com/post/2-bronx-businesses-raided-nypd-new-york-city/15064172/">said</a> &#8220;we&#8217;ve shut down 18 percent of those stores in six weeks.&#8221;
Authorities raided a location on East Tremont Avenue where the NYPD uncovered 176 pounds of cannabis flower, 0.6 pounds of THC vape products and psilocybin mushroom edibles. The cannabis flower was hidden in various places including in compartments under a couch, covered by ceiling tiles, in filing cabinets, in luggage bags and some in plain view.
Chell said that the bust came after the police responded to a community complaint about a deli that ended up being a cover for an illegal drug distribution center.

&#8220;These are all mushroom bars, cereal milk, white chocolate, birthday cake, different flavors,&#8221; explained Lt. Francesca Rosa from the NYC Sheriff&#8217;s Office. &#8220;All of these products are unregulated, unlicensed, this location is unlicensed, they should not have any of this product here.&#8221;
Just blocks away, another establishment on East Tremont Avenue was allegedly functioning as a front for illicit cannabis storage and distribution.
Two workers were arrested during the raid. 
While NYC authorities are moving aggressively to close down unlicensed cannabis shops, the legal cannabis market has been limping along at a disappointedly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/07/39777553/is-the-worst-over-for-new-yorks-beleaguered-weed-market-sales-projections-optimistic-though-cann">slow</a> rhythm.

Out of 1,117 licenses issued by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM), only about 141 dispensaries are operational. This is due mainly to bureaucratic and legal struggles. Additionally, the state&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38230512/its-a-green-day-in-new-york-137-cannabis-licenses-granted-new-jersey-still-in-the-lead">social equity</a> licenses, meant to support those affected by past drug laws and impacted communities, lack sufficient funding and logistical support.

"I think they're having a huge negative impact on especially young people," Trump said of big technology companies in an interview with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2024-trump-interview-transcript/?embedded-checkout=true&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a>.
Trump said TikTok is "very powerful."
Asked about a reversal on wanting to ban TikTok, Trump shares his opinion on the need for competition to big technology companies.
"I'm for TikTok because you need competition. If you don't have TikTok, you have Facebook and Instagram, and that's, you know, that's Zuckerberg."
Trump recalled Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg banning him from Facebook and Instagram in the interview.
"I went from being No. 1 to having nobody."
Trump had a two-year ban from Facebook and Instagram after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol over concerns of civil unrest. Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/02/30848473/trumps-back-on-facebook-and-instagram-for-real">was welcomed back</a> to the platforms in 2023 and recently saw all restrictions lifted.
The former president has also been welcomed back on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. While Trump prefers to post on his own social media platform Truth Social, which is owned by Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), he often uses Facebook to communicate with his followers.

Why It's Important: Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37572294/donald-trump-is-against-tiktok-ban-because-it-would-help-facebook-and-zuckerschmuck-double-their-bus">previously said he</a> is against a ban on TikTok in the U.S. as it could prove advantageous to Facebook and Zuckerberg.
"If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business," Trump previously said.
Trump said he doesn't want Facebook to do better as he alleged the company cheated in the 2020 election.
"They are a true Enemy of the People!"
Trump has shown strong opposition to Zuckerberg in recent months. The former president specifically named Zuckerberg as an "election fraudster" who he could<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39723781/trump-threatens-to-jail-metas-mark-zuckerberg-and-election-fraudsters-if-re-elected-dont-do-it-be-ca"> put in prison</a> if he is elected to the White House.
"They have no shame! All I can say is that if I'm elected President, we will pursue Election Fraudsters at levels never seen before, and they will be sent to prison for long periods of time."
Trump's negativity towards Zuckerberg dates <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/04/38152630/if-you-invested-1-000-in-meta-platforms-stock-when-donald-trump-said-facebook-was-always-ant">back several years</a> with the former president accusing Facebook of always being "anti-Trump."
In April, Congress and President Joe Biden signed legislation to force a sale of the U.S. arm of ByteDance-owned TikTok or see the app banned in America.

Governor Ron DeSantis went there at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/rnc"> Republican National Convention</a> (RNC) in Milwaukee on Wednesday: He used his platform to rail against Florida's upcoming vote to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38034138/florida-supreme-court-approves-cannabis-legalization-proposal-for-november-election-in-blow-to-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">legalize recreational marijuana</a> telling his comrades that if weed is legalized, people will be able to possess practically limitless amounts of the stuff.    
"It gives you a limitless constitutional right to possess and smoke. I think it's up to like, what, 40 joints, is that the three ounces would be 40? More than that, 80 joints. Something like that," he said. 
In fact, he noted that if the cannabis legalization ballot wins, marijuana rights will surpass the constitutional guarantees of the First and Second Amendments concerning free speech and gun ownership, respectively. And that&#8217;s a statement he&#8217;s already made in the past.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Counting Joints</h2>
The language in the legalization initiative, known as Amendment 3, would allow people to possess three ounces of flower or five grams of concentrate, which translates to roughly 27 joints per ounce according to the Governor's math.
"I think you're going to see people, you will be able to bring 20 joints to an elementary school. Is that really going to be good for the state of Florida? I don't think so," DeSantis <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39311053/desantis-blasts-cannabis-legalization-amendment-says-people-will-be-able-to-bring-20-joints-to-a">said</a> in June.
The governor has issued similar warnings about the dangers of cannabis legalization, but the number of joints he references seems to increase with each tirade, noted Florida Politics, which first <a href="https://floridapolitics.com/archives/684696-ron-desantis-now-says-weed-legalization-would-let-people-have-80-joints-at-a-time/">reported</a> this story from the RNC.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Smoky Restaurants</h2>
DeSantis went on to paint a scenario of unchecked public weed consumption, including in private businesses such as restaurants, which he claimed would be difficult to regulate due to the amendment&#8217;s broad language.
"I think you're talking about going downtown somewhere, going to restaurants, all this —you are going to see this. And law enforcement's not going to want to police it at all," he said. "I've had some restaurant guys [say], ‘Well, I won't let them use it in my restaurant,&#8217;" DeSantis continued. "Well, I'm not sure you're going to be able to do that, given how broad it is."
DeSantis also repeated a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/06/39346531/desantis-cant-get-past-the-odor-of-weed-to-smell-the-flowers-specifically-430m-annually-in-canna">complaint</a> that seems to have become the bane of his existence: the smell.
"You go to places like Denver. It smells like marijuana," he told the crowd. "It's not been good for quality of life. So that's just the reality. We've seen in in practice in a lot of places. It hasn't delivered what they said it would deliver."
During his speech, DeSantis also linked marijuana legalization with another initiative, Amendment 2, on expanding abortion access. He called on Florida Republicans assembled in Milwaukee to oppose both measures in order to maintain conservative values.

Opko Health Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OPK#NASDAQ">OPK</a>) shares are trading higher after-hours Wednesday. The company announced it entered into a $250 million non-dilutive note purchase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/07/g39825467/opko-health-and-healthcare-royalty-enter-into-250-million-note-purchase-agreement-secured-by-ngenl">agreement with HealthCare Royalty (HCRx). </a>
The Details: Opko said the purchase agreement is secured by its profit share payments from Pfizer received pursuant to its license agreement relating to NGENLA, a once-weekly treatment to treat pediatric growth hormone deficiency.

&#8220;Additionally, it provides non-dilutive capital and financial flexibility to advance our research and development activities including our multispecific antibody programs, as well as potentially to repurchase shares of our common stock and convertible notes."
