Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. DJT are trading lower Friday amid continued volatility leading up to the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

What To Know: With the US elections approaching, Trump Media & Technology Group's stock is experiencing volatility as it is closely tied to news about former President Trump and his prospects of winning.
