Trump Media & Technology Group Corp ( DJT ) shares are trading higher Tuesday amid ongoing volatility ahead of the 2024 presidential election and this week’s vice presidential debate. The company also announced that its custom-built content delivery network is now operating from multiple sites across the country.

What To Know: Trump Media ( DJT ) shares have traded with elevated volatility in recent weeks. Trump Media ( DJT ), which is the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, made its public debut in late March, but majority shareholder Donald Trump and several other insiders were restricted from selling any shares until the lockup period ended about two weeks ago.

Trump Media ( DJT ) shares fell from around the $19 level to around $12 over the course of a week as the lockup period came to a close, but the stock is now up more than 25% over the past five trading days heading into Tuesday’s vice presidential debate between Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance.

There are now less than 40 days until the presidential election, set for Nov. 5. Most betting platforms have Vice President Kamala Harris listed as a slight favorite with -125 odds to win versus Trump’s +100 odds.
