Donald Trump‘s deliberations that he may visit Springfield, Ohio in the near future are the most recent matter of speculation on prediction market platform Polymarket.

What Happened: The chances of the former President visiting Springfield in September spiked from 8% on Friday to 50% on Monday after Trump suggested he “might go soon.”

Trump’s potential visit to Springfield has been the subject of controversy following his comments regarding Haitian migrants and conspiracy theories.

According to a report from NBC News, Trump’s remarks have ignited significant debate, and his possible visit is seen as a way to further engage his base in Ohio.

His Springfield remarks are also intertwined with discussions around his bizarre “pet-eating” claims, which have shaken up the local area.
