Popular podcast host Joe Rogan has endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump for president. His endorsement came after the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, which featured Elon Musk, was made public.
What Happened: On Monday, while releasing his latest podcast on YouTube and X, formerly Twitter, Rogan announced his support for Trump, saying that the Tesla CEO &#8220;makes the most compelling case&#8221; for the former President.

The iconic duo also discussed diet and cognitive health, dismissing the notion that reducing meat consumption significantly impacts climate change.
Free speech and censorship on social media were also discussed, with Rogan thanking Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">for buying Twitter</a> and criticizing the platform&#8217;s decision to de-platform Trump. Musk called the decision &#8220;insane.&#8221;
The conversation also touched on government control, misinformation, government overreach, and the vaccine debate. Musk compared the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA to the tobacco industry.
Musk also accused the Department of Justice of going after his company, SpaceX, for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/23/08/34060586/elon-musk-calls-out-dojs-double-standards-following-federal-agencys-spacex-lawsuit-over-immigrant-hi">not hiring immigrants</a>, even though it's illegal for them to hire non-permanent residents. &#8220;We're damned if we do, damned if we don't.&#8221;
Why It Matters: The 2024 U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Nov. 5 2024 where Democratic nominee Kamala Harris will face off against Republican candidate Trump.
Harris had a slight lead over Trump in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41733277/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-has-two-point-lead-in-final-election-poll-swing-states-remain-clo">final Morning Consult poll</a> before the 2024 presidential election.

Joe Rogan Endorses Trump As Elon Musk Presents 'Compelling Case' For Ex-President: Here's What The Duo Discussed

The leader of dog-themed cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), surged Monday after Elon Musk mentioned DOGE, an acronym for the potential Department of Government Efficiency, during a podcast with Joe Rogan.
What happened: The largest meme coin by market capitalization jumped over 6% in the last 24 hours, rising to the top of the daily gainers list.
The token's trading volume spiked 30% to nearly $2.8 billion in the last 24 hours, making it the fourth-most traded cryptocurrency in the period if one were to exclude stablecoins.
The latest uptick reversed DOGE's downward trend over the weekend, with monthly returns shooting past 47% as of this writing.

Unsurprisingly, the rally was powered by yet another reference to DOGE by Musk on the famous Joe Rogan Experience podcast that aired Monday.
Musk explained the rationale behind setting up the so-called government efficiency department was to cut through the tangle of federal bureaucracy.
"So we got this vast, suffocating federal bureaucracy that just gets bigger every year, and eventually you get to the point where everything&#8217;s illegal. You can&#8217;t get anything done, " the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said.

Why It Matters: Musk has been frequently touting DOGE from X posts to political rallies of late, triggering sharp but short-lived rallies for the associated meme token.
In an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41220500/elon-musk-says-potential-doge-department-under-a-trump-administration-will-be-a-garbage-co">earlier interview</a> with popular media personality Tucker Carlson, Musk said that the efficiency department would act as a &#8220;garbage collection&#8221; for regulations that don&#8217;t make sense.&nbsp;
Price Action: At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exchanging hands at $0.1621, up 6.48% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

The Block Inc. Trade
Ark Invest sold a total of 232,063 shares of Block Inc across its Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>), ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>), and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) funds. This move comes despite the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)-focused company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41349494/cathie-woods-ark-offloads-1-28m-in-jack-dorseys-block-shares-despite-bitcoin-rally">recent positive second-quarter results</a>, which showcased growth in its Cash App and strategic innovations. 
CEO Jack Dorsey, announced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41646193/block-ceo-jack-dorsey-announces-another-round-of-layoffs-at-tidal">new round of layoffs</a> at Tidal, aiming to restructure the company like a startup with a smaller team focused on engineering and design. Block, which acquired Tidal in 2021, has faced challenges competing in the streaming market.
 The value of the trade, based on the closing price of $72.69 per share on Monday, is approximately $16.9 million. 
The Palantir Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKK and ARKF ETF sold 158,457 shares of Palantir. Given Palantir&#8217;s closing price of $41.41 on Monday, the value of this trade amounts to approximately $6.7 million. This move came amid Palantir&#8217;s recent third-quarter earnings report, which exceeded expectations.
As <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">reported by Benzinga</a>, Palantir&#8217;s third-quarter earnings showcased a revenue of $725.52 million, beating the consensus estimate of $701.13 million. The company&#8217;s total revenue was up 30% year-over-year, with U.S. revenue growing 44% year-over-year to $499 million. The U.S. Commercial revenue grew 54% year-over-year, and U.S. Government revenue climbed 40% year-over-year.
Despite these strong financial results, Ark Invest&#8217;s decision to offload Palantir shares aligns with their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41674556/cathie-wood-bets-big-on-mark-zuckerberg-ark-pours-19m-into-meta-shares-dumps-palantir-and-tesla-">recent trend</a> of reducing holdings in the company.
The Coinbase Global Inc. Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKF fund bought 24,474 shares of Coinbase. The transaction was valued at $4.6 million. On Monday Coinbase shares ended the day 1.85% higher at $186.27. 
At the end of October, the company reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41637702/coinbase-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-transaction-revenue-falls-from-q2">third-quarter revenue</a> of $1.21 billion and earnings of $0.28 per share, both missing analyst expectations. Trading volume and transaction revenue declined quarter-over-quarter, while the company saw continued growth in its Base Layer Two network. Coinbase expects increased sales and marketing expenses in Q4 and highlighted the 2024 U.S. election as a potential factor for market volatility.
The Meta Platforms Inc Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) fund bought 6,153 shares of Meta Platforms Inc. This purchase follows Meta&#8217;s third-quarter financial results, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41637326/meta-platforms-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-daily-actives-up-5-strong-momentum-in-ai">beat analyst estimates</a> for both revenue and earnings per share. The value of the trade, based on the closing price of $560.68 per share on Monday, is approximately $3.45 million.
The Tesla Trade: Ark Invest&#8217;s ETFs, ARKK and ARKW, sold a total of 9,984 shares of Tesla. Based on Tesla&#8217;s closing price of $242.84 on Monday, the value of this trade is approximately $2.42 million. This move comes in the wake of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41708446/tesla-shares-slide-in-pre-market-as-sales-of-elon-musk-led-companys-made-in-china-evs-drop-in-octobe">reported decline</a> in Tesla&#8217;s China-made vehicle deliveries in October, which saw a 5.3% drop compared to the same period last year.
This decision to sell Tesla shares is not new. Ark Invest has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41642374/cathie-wood-shuffles-her-tech-deck-continues-dumping-tesla-and-palantir-stocks-up-on-amd-and-met">gradually reducing</a> its Tesla holdings.

Cathie Wood's Latest Shake-up: Dumps Palantir And Jack Dorsey's Block Along With Tesla, Buys Amazon And Meta

Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) reported a dramatic expansion in customer spending, with one equipment rental company increasing its annual recurring revenue twelvefold in less than eight months after implementing the company&#8217;s artificial intelligence platform, highlighting the rapid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41732827/messi-of-ai-wall-street-analyst-gushes-over-robust-earnings-from-palantir">adoption of AI in enterprise operations</a>.
What Happened: The data analytics company, which joined the S&amp;P 500 index in September, announced Monday that its third-quarter revenue surged 30% to $725.52 million, exceeding analyst expectations of $701.13 million.
&#8220;Given how strong our results are, I almost feel like we should just go home,&#8221; CEO Alex Karp told investors during the earnings call, reflecting on the company&#8217;s robust performance.
The company&#8217;s U.S. operations showed particular strength, with revenue growing 44% year-over-year to $499 million. However, international operations faced headwinds, particularly in Europe, and saw a decline in revenue from a government-sponsored enterprise in the Middle East.
Despite these challenges, Palantir continues to build international partnerships. &#8220;We continue to capitalize on targeted growth opportunities in Asia, the Middle East and beyond,&#8221; said Chief Financial Officer David Glazer, noting a multi-year renewal with BP as evidence of ongoing international expansion.

Why It Matters: Palantir raised its full-year revenue guidance to between $2.805 billion and $2.809 billion. The company expects fourth-quarter revenue between $767 million and $771 million, with adjusted income from operations projected at $298 million to $302 million.
Palantir&#8217;s U.S. commercial revenue growth is expected to exceed 50% for the full year, reaching at least $687 million, according to Glazer.
The company r<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41730179/palantir-q3-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-customers-up-39-raises-guidance-results-driven-by-unrele">eported earnings of six cents per share</a>, double the figure from the same period last year and above analyst estimates of four cents per share. This marks the fifth consecutive quarter Palantir has met or exceeded analyst expectations for both revenue and earnings.
Price Action: In after-hours trading, Palantir stock surged to $47.08, reflecting an increase of 13.69%. The stock closed at $41.41 on Monday, down 1.22% for the day. Year to date, Palantir&#8217;s stock has shown growth, rising to 149.76%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Palantir's AI Gamble Pays Off As Customer Revenue From Single Customer Jumps 12x In Under 8 Months — Alex Karp Quips: 'We Should Just Go Home'

A Polymarket whale dumped around $3 million in bets on a Donald Trump victory after an influential trader hinted at taking profit on his positions tied to the former President.
What Happened: The whale known as &#8216;larpas&#8216; sold $3 million worth of shares in Trump, according to a Monday X post by on-chain tracking firm Arkham Intelligence. 
This sale, which occurred within minutes after a post by renowned cryptocurrency trader Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth, or GCR, resulted in a 4% drop in Polymarket odds for Trump. 
However, the odds recovered by 2% after the sale, returning to 58.6% as of this writing, <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/presidential-election-winner-2024?tid=1730772848583">data </a>from Polymarket showed.

The sell-off followed GCR&#8217;s recommendation to traders to avoid leverage and &#8220;reckless gambling.&#8221; He said that prediction markets have a &#8220;right-wing skew&#8221; and it made sense to bet on Trump when his odds were less than 10%.
However, with his odds going over 65%, the trader stated that he was comfortable with capturing the meat of the move and thus took profits on his positions and proxy bets.
A well-known entity in cryptocurrency trading circles, GCR garnered fame during the bear market by successfully betting against Terra (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/luna/usd">LUNA</a>) ahead of the coin&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/why-did-terra-luna-crash">dramatic collapse</a> in 2022.

Palantir, Trump Media, Hims & Hers Health, NXP Semiconductors, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) has reportedly hit a roadblock in its plans to construct a nuclear-powered AI data center in the U.S. The discovery of a rare bee species on the proposed site has disrupted the project.
What Happened: Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had planned to collaborate with an existing nuclear power plant operator to provide emissions-free electricity for the new data center.
However, the project encountered several hurdles, including environmental and regulatory issues, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ed602e09-6c40-4979-aff9-7453ee28406a">reported</a> Financial Times, citing people familiar with the matter.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41705075/jeff-bezos-backed-perplexitys-new-ai-election-hub-promises-real-time-vote-counts-and-candidate-summa?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jeff Bezos-Backed Perplexity&#8217;s New AI Election Hub Promises Real-Time Vote Counts And Candidate Summaries — But What About Its Accuracy?</a>
The rare bee species found on the land adjacent to the plant, where the data center was to be built, added to the project&#8217;s challenges. Zuckerberg shared this information during a company-wide meeting last week.
Despite the setback, Meta is still investigating various carbon-free energy alternatives, including nuclear.
Meta did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.
Why It Matters: The tech industry&#8217;s increasing demand for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39568237/tech-giants-eye-nuclear-power-to-fuel-ai-boom-raising-concerns-over-stability-and-environmental-">electricity to fuel the AI boom</a> has led to a significant shift towards nuclear power.
Meta&#8217;s rivals, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), 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, and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have inked deals with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41358363/nuclear-stocks-soar-as-amazon-becomes-latest-tech-giant-to-invest-in-nuclear-power">nuclear power plant operators</a> to cater to their data centers&#8217; growing energy needs.
In September, Microsoft revealed plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40994664/pennsylvania-governor-josh-shapiro-urges-quick-connect-for-microsofts-nuclear-power-plan-involving-t">reactivate the dormant nuclear facility</a> at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania.
In March, Amazon invested $650 million to establish a data center adjacent to the Susquehanna Steam Electric nuclear plant, also located in Pennsylvania.
Last month, Google announced its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41321236/sam-altmans-oklo-jumps-on-google-nuclear-deal-whats-going-on">intention to purchase power from</a> small modular reactor (SMR) developer Kairos Power.

Mark Zuckerberg's Nuclear-Powered AI Ambitions At Meta Stung By Rare Bees

Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money,&#8221; recently expressed his enthusiasm for space exploration and Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) on his show.

What Happened: During the &#8220;Lightning Round&#8221; segment of his show, Cramer was asked about Intuitive Machines (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITM#NYSE">ITM</a>), a company involved in space exploration. He <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/04/cramers-lightning-round-i-cant-recommend-ford.html">responded</a> by praising the space industry and Tesla, stating, &#8220;I love space stuff, and that&#8217;s why I keep recommending Tesla&#8230;If there&#8217;s going to be something in space, it is going to be done by Elon Musk.&#8221;
However, Cramer expressed his disappointment with Ford&#8217;s performance, saying, &#8220;I want so badly for the company to do well, but I can&#8217;t recommend the stock.&#8221; He also advised against investing in Schlumberger, citing the lack of growth in the oil industry.
Cramer noted on X, that NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) and ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) are "held back by autos,"

What Happened: The world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency fell to $66,800 in the early evening before recovering above $68,000 overnight.
Donald Trump&#8217;s increasing odds on Polymarket failed to boost the leading coin, which has now erased all of its gains since the climb to near-new highs last week.
Ethereum also encountered heavy sell-offs, while Dogecoin outperformed the market with over 8% gains in the last 24 hours.
Cryptocurrency liquidations breached $200 million in the last 24 hours, with bullish leveraged positions accounting for over 75% of the total.
Bitcoin's Open Interest dropped 0.87% in the last 24 hours. Interestingly, 60% of the top traders on the cryptocurrency exchange Binance were leveraged long on Bitcoin as of this writing.
The market sentiment remained in the "Greed" zone, as per the Cryptocurrency Fear and Greed Index, indicating the potential for higher buying pressure in the days to come.

The global cryptocurrency stood at $2.22 trillion, following a decline of 2.92% in the last 24 hours.
Stock cracked ahead of the all-important election. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 257.59 points, or 0.61%, to close at 41,794.60. The S&amp;P 500 lost 0.28% to end at 5,712.69, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dipped 0.33%, closing at 18,179.98.
Additionally, prices of U.S. Treasurys rose, with the yield for the 10-Year Treasury falling to 0.3% on Monday. This suggested that investors sought refuge in risk-free investments ahead of elections.

Analyst Notes: Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Miles Deutscher highlighted the two possible trajectories Bitcoin could follow after the election outcome.
In the event of a Trump victory, he predicted an immediate rally and a new all-time high this year. On the other hand, a Kamala Harris victory would cause a sell-off and push the highs back to the first quarter of 2025.
"Either way BTC goes to $100,000+, it&#8217;s just the path that changes," Deutscher added.

Influential cryptocurrency analyst and trader Ali Martinez likened Ethereum's trajectory to the S&amp;P 500, noting that this could be the last dip for the second-largest cryptocurrency before it sails to $10,000.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Slip While Dogecoin Surges Ahead Of Presidential Election; Analyst Predicts BTC Will Hit $100K+ Regardless Of Trump Or Harris Win

A Pennsylvania judge has given the go-ahead for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417390/elon-musks-pro-trump-super-pac-to-give-1m-every-day-to-people-in-swing-states-for-signing-his-petiti">$1 million-a-day voter sweepstakes</a>, hosted by Elon Musk&#8216;s political action committee, to continue until the presidential election on Tuesday.
What Happened: Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta made the decision on Monday. Musk&#8217;s lawyers had argued that the winners of the sweepstakes were paid spokespeople, not randomly selected individuals. The judge, however, did not immediately disclose his reasoning behind the ruling, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/musk-million-sweepstakes-lottery-pennsylvania-krasner-4f683c48eb7dcc57f183e54ef16e7320">reported</a> the Associated Press.
District Attorney Larry Krasner had previously labeled the sweepstakes as a scam intended to sway a national election and requested its termination. Musk&#8217;s attorney, Chris Gober, defended the initiative as &#8220;core political speech,&#8221; noting that participants sign a petition endorsing the U.S. Constitution.
Gober also revealed that the final two recipients before the election will be announced in Arizona on Monday and Michigan on Tuesday. 
&#8220;The $1 million recipients are not chosen by chance,&#8221; said Gober. &#8220;We know exactly who will be announced as the $1 million recipient today and tomorrow."
Despite the controversy, Musk&#8217;s lawyers confirmed they have no plans to extend the lottery beyond Tuesday. The PAC has committed over $70 million to help Republican candidates in the November elections.

Why It Matters: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41651620/elon-musk-ordered-to-attend-court-hearing-over-1m-election-giveaway">lawsuit</a> against Musk&#8217;s PAC was filed by the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office, questioning the legality of the lottery, which targets registered voters in pivotal states ahead of the election. The giveaway is managed by Musk's America PAC, which supports Republican former President Donald Trump.
Despite the legal challenge, Musk was allowed to continue the daily million-dollar giveaways while the judge considered the case. Through his America PAC, Musk has been offering daily $1 million cash rewards to registered voters in swing states who sign a petition, which some officials claim may violate electoral laws.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/11/41733277/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-has-two-point-lead-in-final-election-poll-swing-states-remain-clo">presidential race</a> between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris has been close, with Harris maintaining a lead over Trump in many election polls as Election Day approaches.

According to Cuban, the problem started in April 2020, just as the pandemic hit. At that time, gas prices had dropped to $1.87 a gallon. Oil companies struggled with low prices, so they contacted Trump for help. Trump, in turn, asked Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut oil production to help the industry recover. Cuban argued that this move caused the initial spike in gas prices, which then fed into the inflation we&#8217;re dealing with now.

&#8220;That was the day inflation started … as long as that agreement was in place, up until 2022, gas prices kept on going up. The minute that agreement came out and production changed, gas prices started going down and you saw inflation go down,&#8221; Cuban said. He added that Trump was more focused on helping his friends in the oil industry than on keeping gas prices affordable for Americans.
Cuban said that although it&#8217;s popular to attribute inflation to the Biden administration, Trump&#8217;s loyalty to &#8220;his oil company cronies&#8221; over consumers is the real cause of the issue. He clarified that rising gas costs impact the price of practically everything, including groceries and transportation, and significantly contribute to inflation.

But not everybody agreed. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/dana-white">Dana white</a>, a big Trump supporter, pushed back, arguing that Trump had built a strong economy and that Harris, as vice president, hadn&#8217;t proven herself capable of leading.
Still, Cuban kept his focus on the impact of that early pandemic decision. He believes that without the production cuts, inflation might not have gotten so bad. &#8220;You can track it,&#8221; he said, referring to the steady price increase that followed Trump&#8217;s request to Saudi Arabia and Russia.
If anything, the debate at the town hall uncovered once again the deep political divisions over how to interpret the economy&#8217;s current state.

Mark Cuban Says Trump's Loyalty To 'His Oil Company Cronies' Kicked Off High Inflation. He Claims That Was The Ground Zero

Donald Trump, in a recent post on X, claimed to be building the largest coalition in American political history, attracting record-breaking numbers of Arab and Muslim voters in Michigan. He warned of potential war in the Middle East under Kamala Harris.
What Happened: On Monday, Trump shared his views on the election, expressing confidence in his broad coalition and warning of potential conflicts in the Middle East under a potential Harris administration. He urged his followers to vote for him to restore peace.
Addressing Muslim voters and particularly those in Michigan, the former president said, &#8220;They know Kamala and her warmonger Cabinet will invade the Middle East, get millions of Muslims killed, and start World War III.&#8221;

In a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRyyTAs1XY8"> recent interview </a>on The Joe Rogan Experience, JD Vance, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, faced a series of tough questions that seemed to catch him off guard. Known for his laid-back conversations, Rogan dug deep into Vance's stances on sensitive issues like abortion and immigration, sparking viral reactions across social media.
Don't Miss:

<li>Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/red-ventures"> The percentage may shock you</a>.</li>
<li>If there was a new fund backed by Jeff Bezos offering a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-private-credit-fund">7-9% target yield with monthly dividends would you invest in it</a>?</li>
</ul>
Rogan first focused on Vance's views regarding abortion, pressing him on why he supports stricter state control over reproductive rights. Vance has argued that state-level regulations should govern abortion laws, a stance critics argue limits women's rights.&nbsp;
His response drew scrutiny, particularly as public opinion leans in the opposite direction – a recent NPR/PBS poll shows that 63% of Americans favor more liberalized abortion laws. When Rogan challenged Vance on the religious overtones in recent legislation, including some bills prosecuting women who legally seek abortion out-of-state, Vance struggled to provide a cohesive answer, stating he wasn't familiar with those specific laws.
Trending: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/100k-cd">$100K Sitting In A CD Account, Should I Move Money Into The Stock Market?</a>
He argued that Democrats have &#8220;gone way too far&#8221; on abortion rights, even suggesting that they've begun to "celebrate" the practice. Rogan countered, dismissing this idea, saying, "I think there's very few people who are celebrating though."
On the topic of immigration, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40747597/jd-vance-faces-tough-questions-over-the-sky-high-costs-of-trumps-controversial-new-ivf-plan">JD Vance</a> attributed the country's fentanyl crisis to the Biden administration's policies, which he claims have weakened border security. Analysts, however, highlight that fentanyl's surge results from complex global supply chains rather than specific immigration policies.
Trending: Studies show 50% of consumers think Financial Advisors cost much more than they do —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/money-pickle"> to debunk this, this company provides matching for free and a complimentary first call with the matched advisor.</a>
Vance's responses continued to be met with skepticism as Rogan pivoted to health care and the economy. When questioned about Trump-era policies, Vance pointed to broad "concepts" without concrete solutions.&nbsp;
This drew further criticism, given that health care costs remain a significant issue for Americans, with 74% listing it as a top concern, according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation study. Vance's lack of specifics seemed at odds with public sentiment, further intensifying scrutiny on his stance.

Clips from the interview quickly gained traction on X (formerly Twitter) and were shared widely by supporters of the Harris-Walz campaign. Among the shared clips were moments where Vance appeared to envision himself defending against a hypothetical home invasion in response to a recent assassination attempt against Trump.&nbsp;
Another segment had him suggesting that the Trump campaign could appeal to "the normal gay guy vote." His statements, which some viewed as odd or off-base, added fuel to critiques questioning his preparedness for national office.

Unscripted Showdown: JD Vance Faces Joe Rogan's Toughest Questions Yet – Here's Why He Stumbled in the Hot Seat

Jim Messina, who previously managed President Barack Obama&#8217;s campaign, has voiced concern over the preliminary voting numbers for Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s campaign. This concern stems from a noticeable increase in early Republican votes.
What Happened: Messina, while appearing on MSNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Inside with Jen Psaki&#8221; on Sunday, disclosed that the initial voting figures are somewhat &#8220;alarming&#8221; for the Harris campaign. As reported by <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4970003-early-voting-numbers-scary-harris/">The Hill</a>, he highlighted that Republicans are voting early at a higher rate than in previous elections, which could potentially impact the vote distribution on election night.
Messina stated, &#8220;Republicans didn&#8217;t do what they did last time. Last time, Trump said, &#8216;Don&#8217;t early vote.&#8217; And so they didn&#8217;t. Republicans do have an advantage in early vote numbers. When the early vote comes in, it&#8217;s going to look a little bit different than 2020, and that&#8217;s scary.&#8221;
Despite these concerns, Messina remains hopeful about the turnout for Harris among young voters and women. He said, &#8220;Women voters make up 55 percent of the early voters, and in the past 10 days, young voters in these battleground states are coming out — in what looks to be, for early vote, historic numbers — and that makes the Harris campaign very, very happy.&#8221;
However, he conceded that the early voting figures have induced some anxiety among Harris&#8217;s supporters. &#8220;The Republicans have done a better job than they did last time on early vote,&#8221; he noted.
According to the University of Florida's Election Lab, over 78 million early votes have been cast in the 2024 election.

Obama's Former Campaign Manager Alarmed By Early Voting Numbers As Harris-Trump Fight Close Battle: 'Republicans Didn't Do What They Did Last Time'

Argentine Security Minister Patricia Bullrich hailed the capture of a "criminal" allegedly smuggling over two kilograms of cocaine in talcum <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis">powder containers. </a>
<a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/seguridad/patricia-bullrich-celebro-la-detencion-de-un-narcotraficante-por-tener-2-kilos-de-cocaina-pero-era-nid01112024/">According</a> to La Nación, the detainee, 42-year-old Maximiliano Acosta from Mar del Plata, was stopped by Argentina's Gendarmería, a national paramilitary force, at a tollbooth in Mendoza province. He was detained, held in isolation for days and faced the prospect of years in prison.

Three weeks later, however, a second forensic test exposed a grave mistake. The supposed "cocaine" was actually talcum powder. Acosta was released, but Bullrich has yet to acknowledge the misstep or apologize.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Arrest: A Simple Misunderstanding Turns Into A Nightmare</h3>
Acosta had been visiting Mendoza, looking to improve his financial situation by selling goods, including bottles of talcum powder he'd bought from a local vendor. 
Preparing to return home, he hurriedly packed his merchandise, which included 18 bottles of talcum powder, into his backpack. On his bus ride back, officers from Gendarmería, a force that combines the roles of police and military in Argentina, conducted a surprise inspection.
They found the talcum powder and administered a drug field test, which erroneously indicated the presence of cocaine.
"They searched everything I had,&#8221; Acosta said. &#8220;They were excited and congratulating each other, saying things like, ‘Great job; you really paid attention!' They didn't let me speak or move."
Acosta insisted that the containers held only talcum powder, but his protests were dismissed with ridicule. The officers even took photos with the containers, treating him, he said, "like a drug lord."
One phrase stayed with him throughout his ordeal: "I told them, ‘I'm going to laugh at you later, because it's just talcum powder.'"
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Three Weeks In A Cell: His Family's Agonizing Wait</h3>
Held in an isolated cell for 21 days, Acosta endured limited food, sleep and communication with his family. For the first two days, his mother, Laura, frantically tried to find him.
Unaware of his detention, she contacted bus companies and local law enforcement in both Mendoza and Buenos Aires. Finally, Laura was notified that her son had been arrested for possessing "cocaine."
"I couldn't understand it," she said. "He'd sent me photos of the talcum powder he bought, told me how much he paid, and even who sold it to him. It didn't make sense." 
After 48 hours, Laura was allowed to speak briefly with her son, who reassured her. "Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine. If you're fine, I'm fine." Laura later admitted, "For those two days, it felt like he'd been kidnapped."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Premature Celebration And Lack Of Accountability</h3>
Minister Bullrich's tweet on X further added to the family's distress. "An efficient operation: A man tried to evade a checkpoint in Mendoza with over 2 kilos of cocaine hidden in talcum powder containers on a long-distance bus. But Gendarmería was ahead of the game!" she wrote, ending with the phrase: "Those who do it, pay for it."
Finally, after three weeks, Acosta was released, but his troubles didn't end there. He was let go in the middle of the night on a remote road with no public transportation in sight. 
With no way to reach Mendoza, he walked 30 miles before a driver stopped and gave him a ride to the nearest town. The next day, he picked up his confiscated ID and phone. 
However, his cash, around $16,000 Argentine pesos, roughly $16 U.S. dollars, was missing. The state did not provide transportation back to his hometown.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">No Apology, No Compensation: The Struggle For Justice</h3>
When Bullrich was asked to comment on the case, she justified the officials&#8217; actions. "There was no mistake in the investigation. Talcum powder often tests positive for cocaine, and security forces had warned it could be a false positive."
Acosta and his mother have yet to receive an apology and are now considering legal action. Laura noted that the last thing the judge told her son was. "We'll learn and do better for future cases."
Now back in Mar del Plata, Acosta struggles with lingering trauma from his wrongful imprisonment. "I dream of the police coming for me." 
Reflecting on Bullrich's comment, Laura expressed frustration: "The only thing I would say to her is, ‘Train your people. Don't rush to judgment.' They say, ‘Those who do it, pay for it.' Well, I say they should pay too.

The head-to-head race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris grew even closer in the last Morning Consult poll ahead of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election</a>.
What Happened: Harris maintains a lead over Trump in many election polls as Election Day nears, but her odds in prediction markets and betting odds have trailed the former president <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports-betting/24/11/41719799/robinhood-passes-100-million-2024-election-contracts-do-users-favor-trump-or-harris-on-sto">by a wide margin.</a>
A new Morning Consult <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-election-state-polls">poll </a>of likely voters shows Harris' lead dropping, continuing a recent string of a lead of six points shrinking.
The new poll shows the following results from voters, with results from the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41667786/harris-vs-trump-vice-presidents-lead-shrinks-key-demographic-grows-one-week-before-2024-election"> Oct. 29 poll</a> in parentheses:

<li>Donald Trump: 47% (47%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 1% (1%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 2% (2%) &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Harris' lead over Trump dropped to two points, down from a three-point lead in last week's poll. The vice president has now seen her lead drop in three straight weeks among the Morning Consult polls. The lead is also down from a six-point lead Harris had several weeks ago.

</ul>
Swing States Still Toss-Up: Morning Consult also published the final results of its state-by-state election guide, which includes how voters in seven key swing states are leaning ahead of Election Day.
Here are the leaders in the seven states:
<ul>
<li>Arizona: Tied</li>
<li>Georgia: Trump leads by two points</li>
<li>Michigan: Harris leads by one point</li>
<li>Nevada: Tied</li>
<li>North Carolina: Trump leads by two points</li>
<li>Pennsylvania: Tied</li>
<li>Wisconsin: Tied</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/swing-states" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seven swing states</a> in question together represent 93 electoral votes in the 2024 election. Six of the seven states above were won by President Joe Biden in the 2020 election with Trump winning North Carolina. Several states flipped from Trump&#8217;s win in the 2016 election.
It could be good news for Harris to see four states tied and leading one state as some swing state polls have shown a more dominant position for Trump.
The bad news is using math and the current path to 270 electoral college votes from<a href="https://www.270towin.com/"> 270towin</a>, Harris could be in trouble.
Based on the <a href="https://www.270towin.com/">270towin</a> map, Harris is expected to get 226 electoral college votes based on state leanings, with Trump getting 219 votes. The remaining 93 votes come from the swing states up for grabs.
With Trump getting the 219 plus Georgia's 16 votes and North Carolina's 16 votes based on the poll above, he would be at 251. Harris would be at 241 with the 226 and the 15 from Michigan.
Pennsylvania is the key swing state worth 19 votes. Based on the math above, Trump would win if he secures Pennsylvania and he could still lose Arizona, Wisconsin and Nevada. Trump could also win if he loses Pennsylvania and Nevada and wins Arizona and Wisconsin.
For Harris, she would need to secure Michigan as predicted and win Pennsylvania to get to 260, but still need Arizona or Wisconsin to win the 2024 election.

Harris Vs. Trump: Vice President Has Two-Point Lead In Final Election Poll, Swing States Remain Close With Four Deadlocks Ahead Of Election Day

Rapper Eminem is among the celebrities who have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president in<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> the 2024 election</a>.
Benzinga recently asked its readers how influential Eminem's endorsement was and how it compares to billionaire Warren Buffett.
 What Happened: Eminem<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/23/08/33675151/eminem-accuses-donald-trump-of-brainwashing-his-followers-rapper-says-those-are-the-people-"> has been critical of</a> Donald Trump in the past and has spoken out about the followers of the former president.
So, it shouldn't have been a huge surprise for Eminem to publicly endorse Harris over Trump.
The rapper recently appeared at a Detroit, Michigan, rally<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41487342/eminem-rallies-michigan-voters-introduces-obama-at-detroit-kamala-harris-campaign-event"> speaking ahead of</a> former President Barack Obama in the key swing state.
"Going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever," Eminem said. "And I think it's important to use your voice. So, I'm encouraging everyone to go out and vote, please."
Eminem also said "people shouldn't be afraid to express their opinions" or be worried about retribution for who they vote for or publicly support.
"I think Vice President Harris supports a future for this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld."
The rapper took the stage ahead of Obama, who came out to the rapper's hit song "Lose Yourself."
