IAC chairman Barry Diller&nbsp;on Friday praised Vice President Kamala Harris while recounting what happened after President Joe Biden last week <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">decided to exit</a> the 2024 presidential race.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC, Diller said he was impressed by Harris&#8217;s quick mobilization of her team following Biden&#8217;s decision not to run for re-election.
&#8220;Within&nbsp;a millisecond of Biden telling&nbsp;her I&#8217;m not going, she&nbsp;mobilized her forces and within&nbsp;12 hours, she shut everyone&nbsp;else down,&#8221; he said.

The media mogul said he initially hoped for an open convention, where multiple candidates, including Harris, would compete, creating a vibrant democratic process. 
However, he recognized Harris&#8217;s confidence and organizational skills in securing endorsements and eliminating competition.
&#8220;It was her. She organized the endorsements leading with the Clintons and everybody else,&#8221; Diller added.

'Don't Discount Kamala Harris Yet,' Says IAC Chairman Barry Diller, Recounting How 'She Mobilized Her Forces And… Shut Everyone Else Down' Within Hours Of Biden Stepping Down

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci weighed in on the possible impact on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) prices if former President Donald Trump wins his second term in the upcoming elections, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39994378/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-zoom-higher-as-bitcoin-conference-awaits-donald-trumps-keynote-s">ahead of the Bitcoin 2024 conference</a>.
What Happened: Scaramucci, a known proponent of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as an asset class, highlighted how a second Trump presidency could influence prices of the apex crypto, in an interview with CNBC.
"I applaud President Trump for that."
He also went into detail about the stance of the Democratic party and how Trump&#8217;s outreach to cryptocurrency proponents has taken his rivals by surprise.
"I think President Trump's move to court Bitcoin and towards crypto assets has shaken the Democrats at core."

Scaramucci, who started investing in Bitcoin in 2020 and is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39960622/anthony-scaramucci-writing-bitcoin-book-with-michael-saylor-this-is-where-the-future-is">writing a book</a> on King Crypto, also had a word of caution for Democrats.
"Very smart, younger Democrats are recognizing that they're way off base with their positions, they're way off with these SEC lawsuits and regulation by enforcement," he added.
The former White House official also underscored his belief that Trump would be "very well welcomed" at the Bitcoin 2024 conference, where the former president is scheduled to deliver the keynote address.

Anthony Scaramucci, Tim Scott Weigh In Ahead Of Ex-President's Address At Bitcoin 2024 Conference: 'Trump's Move To Court Bitcoin And Towards Crypto Assets Has Shaken The Democrats At Core'

French billionaire Bernard Arnault recalled the time when he and Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, discussed the idea of a Louis Vuitton-branded rocket.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box, Arnault spoke about his discussions with Musk. &#8220;I admire very much what he's doing because I think he's a genius. To do such a success with a car company was quite unexpected. But he's a genius,&#8221; he said.
The French luxury mogul went on to reveal that the last time the two billionaires talked about an idea involving a rocket. &#8220;Maybe we have a way to put Vuitton in a rocket. I don't know if we go somewhere.&#8221;

Arnault then humorously voiced his apprehension, saying, &#8220;I'm afraid he will ask me to go with him in the rocket.&#8221; When asked if he would go on the rocket, Arnault said &#8220;I'm not sure.&#8221;

Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault Once Discussed Potential SpaceX-Louis Vuitton Collab: 'I'm Afraid He Will Ask Me To Go With Him In The Rocket'

French luxury mogul Bernard Arnault on Friday disclosed that the late Steve Jobs had once sought his counsel on the retail strategy for Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), despite skepticism from industry rivals.
What Happened: While appearing on CNBC, Arnault reminisced about a conversation with Jobs when Apple was considering the launch of its first retail store. The late Apple co-founder intrigued by Arnault&#8217;s success with the luxury brand Vuitton, sought his views on the venture.
Arnault said that he suggested Jobs inaugurate the first Apple store at a prime location, hinting at emulating Vuitton&#8217;s strategy. The first Apple store was launched in Tokyo, directly across a Vuitton outlet on Ginza, and it turned out to be a massive success.

Analyst Says Jensen Huang-Led Chip Giant&#8217;s Competitor Is &#8216;Catchin</a>
Arnault said that Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Technologies, had expressed reservations about Apple&#8217;s direct retail strategy. &#8220;It proved to be a fantastic success. When, at the time, many of his competitors, I remember Dell, for instance, saying it would never work, these direct shops,&#8221; he stated.
During their interaction, Jobs also acknowledged the durability of Arnault&#8217;s products, contrasting it with the unpredictability of the tech industry&#8217;s success over time.
&#8220;He was very smart, obviously, and very creative also. But he told me, &#8216;You know, I like your products. And you have an advantage on me.&#8217; I said, &#8216;Well, which one?&#8217; &#8216;I don't know if my iPod will still be successful in 10 years. But what I know is your Dom Perignon will be sold in a century,'&#8221; Arnault said.

Why It Matters: Bernard Arnault&#8217;s advice to Steve Jobs came from his extensive experience in the luxury retail sector. His success with Vuitton is a testament to his understanding of the retail landscape.
The French luxury mogul currently has a net worth of $188 billion, making him the third wealthiest individual in the world, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/billionaires/">Index</a>. However, Arnault&#8217;s fortune has seen a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/07/39920045/arnaults-fortune-falls-as-lvmh-misses-on-earnings-zuckerberg-now-eyes-third-spot-on-billionaires-l">significant drop recently</a>. 
Earlier this week, it was reported that nearly half of Arnault's wealth is tied to his stake in LVMH-Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, which saw a nearly 5% decline in over-the-counter shares after earnings fell short of expectations.

Steve Jobs Once Consulted Bernard Arnault When Apple Was Opening Its First Retail Store: French Luxury Tycoon Says 'It Proved To Be A Fantastic Success. When At The Time Many Of His Competitors…Saying It Would Never Work.'

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent U.S. presidential candidate, raised questions about the recent pro-cryptocurrency stance of GOP nominee Donald Trump. This comes as both candidates vie for the support of crypto-holders at the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39470346/trump-reportedly-discussing-participation-in-bitcoin-2024-conference-move-to-reinforce-cry">2024 conference.</a>
What Happened: Kennedy, who is currently favored by 8% of voters, expressed skepticism about Trump&#8217;s newfound support for cryptocurrency. He made these remarks at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, where Trump is scheduled to speak on Saturday, Reuters reported.
In his conference speech, Kennedy took a jab at Trump, saying, &#8220;President Trump has orange hair&#8230; But I have an orange heart,&#8221; referring to the color of the Bitcoin logo. He expressed hope that Trump&#8217;s commitment to bitcoin is more than just political convenience.
&#8220;I hope President Trump&#8217;s commitment to Bitcoin is more than political expediency.&#8221;
Despite his low polling numbers, Kennedy&#8217;s candidacy could have a significant impact on the election if he draws voters away from Trump or the likely Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. However, Kennedy has yet to qualify for the ballot in many states.

Kennedy also pledged that, if elected, he would instruct the U.S. Treasury to acquire enough Bitcoin to build a reserve similar to U.S. gold reserves, and would make direct ownership of Bitcoin tax-free.
Conference attendees are eagerly anticipating Trump&#8217;s speech on Saturday. &#8220;Make Bitcoin Great Again&#8221; red hats, a play on Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; slogan, are being sold at the conference.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent endorsement of cryptocurrency, despite previously calling it a &#8220;scam&#8221; in 2021, has been seen as a strategic move to gain support from the crypto community. The Republican Party has been actively courting crypto holders by promising lighter regulations.
Economist Peter Schiff has suggested that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39975390/trumps-bitcoin-support-a-political-no-brainer-to-garner-votes-says-peter-schiff-promise-to">Trump&#8217;s support for Bitcoin</a> is a political move to gain votes, not a genuine commitment to make it a reserve asset. Schiff also warned that by pursuing cryptocurrency-supporting voters, Trump risks alienating supporters who do not trust the asset&#8217;s potential.
On the other hand, analysts from research and brokerage firm Bernstein have suggested that a potential Trump victory in the 2024 elections could significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39897980/potential-trump-victory-could-stir-bitcoin-market-bernstein-analysts-predict-implications-">shake up the cryptocurrency market. </a>The Bernstein team posits that the market has not accounted for a potential positive shift in cryptocurrency regulations if Trump is reelected in November.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Questions Trump's Pro-Crypto Stance As 2024 Presidential Race Heats Up: 'I Hope...Commitment To Bitcoin Is More Than Political Expediency'

A gathering meant to rally support for Vice President&nbsp;Kamala Harris&#8216; presidential campaign morphed into an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39919247/who-will-kamala-harris-pick-for-vice-president-crypto-bettors-have-4-favorites-for-democra">endorsement event for</a> Pennsylvania Governor&nbsp;Josh Shapiro (D-Pa.).
What Happened: The event on Friday, which saw Democratic leaders and labor unions come together to express their support for Harris, unexpectedly shifted its focus to Shapiro. 
Several speakers, including influential union leaders,&nbsp;the chair of the Philadelphia&nbsp;Democratic Party,&nbsp;and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, endorsed Shapiro as a potential vice presidential candidate, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/26/philly-unions-democrats-shapiro-00171491">reported</a>&nbsp;Politico.

&#8220;If they take our advice, Josh Shapiro will be our vice president,&#8221; Parker stated, highlighting Shapiro&#8217;s capability to secure a win in Pennsylvania.
Despite the public endorsements, Shapiro has not openly expressed interest in the VP position, stating that the decision lies with Harris. 
However, his allies, including Ryan Boyer,&nbsp;the leader of Philadelphia's powerful&nbsp;building trades council, have been vocal about Shapiro&#8217;s suitability for the White House. &#8220;He would look good on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.&#8221;
Why It Matters: Shapiro, who is reportedly&nbsp;being vetted by the Covington&nbsp;&amp; Burling law firm for the VP role, has been actively increasing his public presence.
He is scheduled&nbsp;to lead a Harris volunteer&nbsp;kick-off in central Pennsylvania on Saturday and will return to Philadelphia&nbsp;on Monday for an event&nbsp;with Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
According to Democratic mega-donors, Shapiro, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), and Roy Cooper (D-N.C.) are leading the race to become <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39924772/democratic-mega-donors-predict-kamala-harris-to-pick-vp-among-these-3-lawmakers-as-presidential-race">Harris's running mate</a>.
Harris is preparing for a potential face-off against former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The choice of a running mate could significantly influence the election outcome. 
There are also speculations that Trump could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979544/can-trump-replace-jd-vance-amid-kamala-harris-picking-pace-experts-warn-that-could-be-extraordinaril">replace his current running mate</a>, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), due to his underwhelming polling.

Josh Shapiro Emerges As Potential VP Candidate At Kamala Harris Endorsement Event: 'He Would Look Good...'

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci humorously thanked Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39780777/trump-picks-senator-j-d-vance-as-running-mate-musk-says-great-choice-for-vp">running mate</a>, JD Vance (R-Ohio), for taking his place as the worst hire of the former president.
What Happened: Scaramucci expressed his gratitude to Vance for ousting him from the position of the worst Trump hire, in a post on Friday on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
&#8220;I just want to personally thank JD Vance for knocking me out of the position of the worst Donald Trump hire. I didn't think it would happen but here we are and I am grateful.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Scaramucci has been vocal about his disapproval of Vance as Trump&#8217;s running mate. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39854646/anthony-scaramucci-says-jd-vances-quest-to-wall-us-off-from-rest-of-world-could-be-an-economic-disas">previously stated</a> that Vance&#8217;s economic policies could lead to a disaster for the United States and the world.

Vance has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39784888/aoc-mocks-trump-vp-choice-j-d-vance-for-tweet-connecting-fertility-rate-with-daylight-saving-time">come under criticism</a> for his past social media activity, with Rep.&nbsp;Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&nbsp;(D-N.Y.) highlighting a post made by Trump's running mate linking fertility rates with daylight savings time.
Vance reportedly wrote on November 1, 2020: "As a parent of young children and a nationalist who worries about America's low fertility I can say with confidence that daylight savings time reduces fertility by at least 10 percent."
Vance later said this post was a joke.

Former White House Official Anthony Scaramucci Mocks JD Vance, Says Thank You For 'Knocking Me Out Of The Position Of The Worst Donald Trump Hire'

Deepwater Asset Management&#8217;s managing partners, Gene Munster and Doug Clinton have <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/openais-new-searchgpt-prototype-is-a-declaration-of-war-against-google/articleshow/112024630.cms">downplayed concerns</a> that Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google Search could be outdone by OpenAI&#8217;s SearchGPT.
What Happened: On Friday, Munster took to X, formerly Twitter, and said, &#8220;Since it&#8217;s only a 15-second video, it&#8217;s hard to see why SearchGPT is 10x better than Google AI Overviews.&#8221;
He went on to say that in the near term, this revives fears among Google investors that AI could threaten search. However, if the product&#8217;s capabilities are limited to what&#8217;s shown in the teaser, Google is not in any significant danger.

Doug Clinton, the other managing partner at Deepwater, concurred with Munster&#8217;s views. He said that although the SearchGPT video resulted in a minor dip in Google&#8217;s stock, it does not pose a substantial threat to Google&#8217;s AI.
&#8220;It didn&#8217;t seem 10x superior to what I&#8217;m observing&nbsp;from Google and AI overviews,&#8221; Clinton remarked in a separate video.

Top Analyst Says OpenAI's AI-Powered Search Engine Likely Isn't A Threat To Google: 'It's Hard To See Why SearchGPT Is 10X Better…'

The much-anticipated initial public offering (IPO) of billionaire investor Bill Ackman&#8216;s Pershing Square closed-end fund has been postponed, as confirmed by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE.)
What Happened: On Friday, the NYSE announced on its website that the listing of Pershing Square USA Ltd. has been delayed, with a new date yet to be disclosed. 
Pershing Square refrained from commenting further but issued a statement clarifying that the IPO is still proceeding, with the pricing date to be announced later.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947623/lindsey-graham-says-americans-are-struggling-and-our-country-is-heading-in-the-wrong-direction-repla?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lindsey Graham Says &#8216;Americans Are Struggling, And Our Country Is Heading In The Wrong Direction&#8217;</a>
The delay comes amid Ackman&#8217;s concerns about the size of the transaction and the novelty of the structure. He expressed these concerns in a July 24 letter to investors, emphasizing the need for careful analysis and judgment from investors.
The fund is expected to invest in 12 to 24 large-cap, investment-grade, &#8220;durable growth&#8221; companies in North America. The public listing is seen as a move to leverage Ackman&#8217;s following among Main Street investors.
Why It Matters: The IPO delay follows a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39975768/bill-ackmans-us-fund-ipo-target-slashed-by-90-as-pershing-square-specifically-disclaims-ceos-comment">significant reduction in the fund&#8217;s targe</a>t, which was slashed by as much as 90% from the initial $25 billion. In a letter to investors in his Pershing Square holding company sent on Wednesday, Ackman urged, "This is a moment when you can be very helpful to Pershing Square by participating in the PSUS offering and giving your order to the banks, the sooner the better." However, Pershing Square USA "specifically disclaims" Ackman's statement in the filing that included the letter.
Inspired by Warren Buffett&#8216;s career, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39766570/bill-ackman-says-his-unofficial-mentor-warren-buffett-inspired-him-to-take-pershing-square-funds-pub">Ackman decided to take his funds public.</a> He planned to use his social media presence and a Buffett-like annual meeting to bolster his new investment fund.
Pershing Square USA is a closed-end fund set to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, investing in large, publicly traded stocks that Ackman and his team believe are undervalued. Ackman had previously informed investors that he expected the company to trade at a premium compared to the net assets it held.
Despite the reduction in the IPO target, Ackman remains optimistic about the fund's potential, particularly with the involvement of U.S. retail investors and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39811552/from-warren-buffett-style-annual-meetings-to-social-media-strategy-heres-how-bill-ackman-plans-to-bo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support of institutional investors</a>.

Bill Ackman's Warren Buffett-Inspired Strategy Hits A Snag? Pershing Square USA Delays IPO Indefinitely After Slashing Target By 90%

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has strongly refuted allegations of manipulating the issuance of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/treasuries">Treasury securities</a>. These accusations were made by economist Nouriel Roubini who suggested that such manipulation was aimed at reducing real borrowing costs across the economy.
What Happened: Yellen dismissed Roubini&#8217;s argument that the Treasury had a strategy to ease financial conditions, in an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-26/yellen-rejects-roubini-claim-of-manipulation-in-treasuries">interview</a> with Bloomberg.
&#8220;I can assure you 100% that there is no such strategy. We have never, ever discussed anything of the sort,&#8221; Yellen said.
The paper, co-authored by Roubini and Stephen Miran, a former Treasury official under President Donald Trump, claimed that the Treasury&#8217;s actions in the fall of last year reduced 10-year Treasury yields by a quarter of a percentage point.
This is roughly equivalent to a full percentage point reduction in the Federal Reserve&#8217;s benchmark rate.

Joshua Frost, the Treasury&#8217;s assistant secretary for financial markets, defended the department&#8217;s actions, stating they were within market participants&#8217; expectations.
Yellen supported Frost&#8217;s statements, saying his speech provided the best explanation for the department&#8217;s approach.
Why It Matters: The allegations against Yellen come in the wake of a series of events that have put her in the spotlight.
Earlier this month, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39749545/trump-allies-slam-janet-yellen-for-manipulating-treasury-debt-auctions-to-improve-bidens-image">she was accused</a> by Republican lawmakers of manipulating Treasury debt auctions to stimulate the economy and enhance President Joe Biden‘s image. This latest development is a continuation of the scrutiny Yellen has been facing.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38572650/janet-yellen-stands-up-for-feds-autonomy-as-trump-allies-plan-to-gain-more-control">Yellen also defended</a> the Federal Reserve&#8217;s political independence against attempts by Trump allies to undermine it.
In June, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39348581/janet-yellen-dismisses-donald-trumps-proposal-to-replace-income-tax-with-tariffs-the-impact-would-be">publicly criticized Trump&#8217;s proposal</a> to replace parts of the U.S. income tax with increased tariffs on imported goods.
Later that month, she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39470021/janet-yellen-says-inflation-to-come-down-to-feds-2-target-by-2025-dismisses-possibility-of-us-recess">expressed confidence</a> in the American economy, dismissing the possibility of a recession and predicting that inflation would reach the Federal Reserve's 2% target by next year.

Economics

Janet Yellen Rejects Economist Roubini's And Trump-Era Official's Claims Of 'Manipulation' In Treasuries: 'We Have Never, Ever Discussed Anything Of The Sort'

Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has severed its business ties with One Medical, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/healthcare">primary healthcare provider</a> acquired by Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) for $3.9 billion.
What Happened: Google, previously One Medical&#8217;s largest business client, has decided to terminate its enterprise agreement with the healthcare company following Amazon&#8217;s acquisition of One Medical last year, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-drops-amazon-one-medical-2024-7">reported</a> Business Insider.
The agreement, which offered Google employees discounted or free One Medical memberships and operated One Medical care centers at some Google office locations, is set to expire at the end of 2024.
Google was an early supporter of One Medical and was its largest business customer for many years. Until 2020, One Medical disclosed that Google accounted for 10% of its net revenue.
In 2021, that dipped below 10%, and then One Medical stopped publicly sharing financials after Amazon acquired it.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/07/39940874/gileads-42-5k-priced-hiv-drug-could-be-made-at-just-40-annually-campaigners-urge-company-to-slash?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gilead&#8217;s $42.5K Priced HIV Drug Could Be Made At Just $40 Annually</a>
A Google spokesperson confirmed to the publication that the existing relationship with One Medical is changing after 2024 but stressed that the decision has nothing to do with Amazon&#8217;s new ownership of the healthcare provider.
The existing One Medical centers on Google&#8217;s campus have already transitioned to Premise Health to provide more services like pharmacy, gynecology, and coordinated care on-site, the spokesperson added.
An Amazon spokesperson told Business Insider that Google employees and their dependents will continue to have One Medical memberships &#8220;sponsored&#8221; by their employer through the end of 2024.
Why It Matters: The termination of Google&#8217;s business relationship with One Medical comes amid significant changes within the healthcare provider.
In September, CEO Amir Dan Rubin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/09/34166966/amazons-one-medical-ceo-departs-amid-significant-leadership-shift">stepped down</a> from One Medical after six years at the helm, a little over a year after Amazon&#8217;s acquisition.
This leadership shift was followed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/36971965/amazon-implements-major-job-cuts-in-one-medical-and-pharmacy-units-to-save-100m">major job cuts</a> in February, as part of a cost-saving initiative aiming to save One Medical $100 million.

Google Cuts Ties With Amazon-Owned One Medical, But Clarifies It Is Not Due To E-Commerce Giant's $3.9B Acquisition

Following President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39885549/biden-withdraws-from-2024-race-what-that-means-for-solana-etf-prospects">withdraw from the 2024 presidential race</a>, a poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal indicates that former President Donald Trump has a slight edge over Vice President Kamala Harris.
What Happened: The poll <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/harris-erases-trumps-lead-wsj-poll-finds-e286144d?mod=e2tw">results</a> published on Friday revealed that Trump has the support of 49% of registered voters, while Harris trails slightly behind with 47%. The WSJ poll, conducted from July 23-25, surveyed 1,000 registered voters with a margin of error&nbsp;of ±3.1 percentage points.
The latest poll also showed a significant rise in Harris&#8217;s favorability among registered voters, jumping 11 points to 46%. In comparison, Trump&#8217;s favorability was at 47% and Biden&#8217;s at 39%.

North Korea Says &#8216;We Do Not Care,&#8217; Expresses Nuclear Readiness Amid Rising Tension With US</a>
In a ballot test featuring Robert F. Kennedy Jr. alongside other independent and third-party candidates, Harris secured 45% of the vote, while Trump received 44%. Kennedy garnered just 4%, and 5% of voters remained undecided. 
In the last poll, Biden trailed by six points in the multicandidate contest, the report noted.
Why It Matters: The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/07/39973800/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-gains-ground-lost-by-joe-biden-in-swing-states">race between Trump and Harris</a>&nbsp;is shaping up to be a close one, with Harris making up ground lost by Biden in head-to-head matchups against Trump. 
President Biden&#8217;s campaign was plagued by a lackluster debate performance and concerns about his age and mental fitness, leading to his withdrawal last week.
Since Biden&#8217;s exit, Harris has garnered several key endorsements from her party, experienced a surge in fundraising, and secured enough delegate commitments to secure the nomination.
Meanwhile, Trump has been&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39947274/trump-takes-aim-at-kamala-harris-in-first-rally-post-bidens-exit-calls-her-a-radical-left-lunatic-vp">criticizing Harris</a>&nbsp;on immigration and inflation issues, labeling her as a &#8220;radical-left lunatic.&#8221;
