MAGA at Madison Square Garden & The Election Betting Game 10/28/24

Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday, kicking off his final appeal to voters as election day approaches. One rally speaker, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Florida), joined the Squawk set the morning after, discussing a rally joke that sparked controversy and the vitriol surrounding this year’s election. Former Rep. Donna Edwards (D-Maryland) suggests that votes for Vice President Harris are votes for a forward-looking administration, and weighs in on the political tension across the country. Next, Robinhood is joining the election betting game alongside platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi. Despite polls indicating a close race, betting platforms favor former President Trump to win the White House. Kalshi co-founder Tarek Mansour discusses betting market accuracy, as well as competition between the betting platforms. Plus, Boeing announced a capital raise of $18.9 billion, and McDonalds has returned its Quarter Pounder to the menu following the E. coli outbreak.
