Vice President Kamala Harris has grown her lead over former President Donald Trump in a weekly head-to-head poll of likely voters with less than one month until the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: Harris has shown a lead over Trump in many election polls, while election betting odds <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41205762/donald-trump-takes-2-7-point-election-betting-odds-lead-over-kamala-harris-more-accurate-t">and prediction markets</a> have fluctuated to show a tight race as election day nears.
A new Morning Consult <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling">poll </a>of likely voters shows Harris' lead tying a record high six points, a lead she had after the presidential debate between the two candidates in September.
The new poll shows the following results from voters, with the results from the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41132643/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-leads-former-president-by-5-points-walz-favorability-rating-tops-"> Oct. 1 poll</a> in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 51% (51%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 45% (46%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 2% (2%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 2% (2%)</li>
</ul>
The poll also found that 94% of Democrats backed Harris as their top pick, in line with last week's poll. The poll also found 92% of Republicans backed Trump as their top pick, in line with last week's poll.
Independent voters selected the following as their head-to-head preference, with the results from the Oct. 1 poll in parentheses:
<ul>
<li>Kamala Harris: 45% (45%)</li>
<li>Donald Trump: 44% (44%)</li>
<li>Someone Else: 5% (5%)</li>
<li>Don't Know: 5% (5%)</li>
</ul>
The vice president also has the edge in the 18-34 age voters demographic, leading 53% to 43%. The 10-point lead is in line with last week's lead, but down from a lead of 15 points three weeks ago.  
Among Black voters, Harris leads by 77% to 19%, in line with last week's poll.

</ul>
Why It&#8217;s Important: Harris ties her record lead, which comes as good news given the predicted tight race and the timing of election day nearing.
The latest poll comes after the vice-presidential debate between Tim Walz and J.D. Vance, which many media outlets and polls showed Republican Vance <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41151403/walz-vs-vance-who-won-vp-debate-and-could-the-outcome-shift-2024-election-for-harris-or-trump">as the winner</a>. The latest poll shows that the vice president debate may have had minimal impact on the overall election race.
The bad news for Harris is that Trump continues to show gains or hold his gains from last week among several key demographics, including Independent voters.
Harris had posted a stronger lead among the key Independent voter demographic for several weeks before holding onto a minimal one-point advantage in back-to-back weeks.
The vice president debate shifted favorability rankings with Vance going from 39% to 40% and Walz going from 45% to 48%. Vance saw his best net buzz rating, or the amount of people hearing positive comments about him minus the amount hearing something negative, since joining the Trump ticket.
One likely positive for Harris is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41184080/us-economy-adds-254-000-new-jobs-in-september-smashes-expectations-unemployment-f">impressive jobs report </a>last week that saw a higher-than-expected figure. The result was the election poll showing net buzz on jobs (+12) and economy (-6) hitting highs not seen since February and March of 2024, respectively.
Another potential negative for Harris is her net buzz falling below double digits for the first time since she became the Democratic Party nominee. This means that the amount of negative comments about her may be increasing or positive commentary is wearing off.
Harris <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41214476/will-kamala-harriss-media-blitz-including-60-minutes-and-call-her-daddy-improve-her-2024-el">ramped up efforts </a>to be more present with the media this week with appearances on the Call Her Daddy podcast, "60 Minutes," "The Howard Stern Show," "The View" and taking part in a Town Hall.
Next week's poll could show if the media blitz efforts paid off for the vice president.

2024 Benzinga Cannabis Awards Winners Celebrated For Industry Leadership, Innovation

Alexa Alianiello, who serves as the head of cannabis at X, welcomes the idea her company is a pioneer in the space and it offers branding opportunities for companies that can't advertise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/04/38114685/exclusive-x-fmr-twitter-exec-explains-why-storytelling-authenticity-are-the-future-of-cannabis-m">their products elsewhere.</a>
The X Vision: Alianiello said X's vision is to "help bring civilization forward through information sharing and dialogue," during a fireside chat at the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on Oct. 8.</a>
X tries to be a trusted source of information, Alianiello told the crowd after being asked about the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
Alianiello said X preserves the integrity of information that's flowing while also making sure there is a free expression of information.
It's that free expression that makes X the only major social media platform to allow cannabis advertising and for users to regularly discuss the sector.
"We are a safe space for conversation around cannabis," Alianiello said.
Alianiello said users can talk about the legal landscape of the sector, social justice issues and brands and products.
"It really is the only social platform where you can talk about cannabis openly."
Alianiello, who has been featured at several Benzinga cannabis events, told the crowd the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference is "just the best event for having an ear to the ground."

The X Opportunity: Alianiello said X is where people are coming for information and that they "can say weed" on the platform.
The social media company, which was acquired by Elon Musk for $44 billion in 2022, is welcoming cannabis companies to advertise and target users for their products.
"We're helping normalize these products," Alianiello said.
Alianiello said she has been told by brands that X is driving results for them, something she is incredibly proud of.
"The platform welcomes everyone."
Alianiello said there are 40 million posts on X annually about cannabis.
"There is a real opportunity to reach people."
While X is welcome to cannabis advertising, other social media platforms haven't dove fully in and might not be soon. Alianiello said she has talked to other platforms and they are getting more interested.
"We know that it works. We're excited to kind of be pioneers in the space."
X is the place to get information in front of a large public audience and a place where cannabis conversation is welcome, Alianiello added.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk's X Is 'Safe Space' To Say Weed: 'The Only Social Platform Where You Can Talk About Cannabis Openly'

Rescheduling is "not a Panacea to all the problems of the industry" and would not make the issue of oversaturation and lack of investor capital go away, Frank Segall, co-chair of cannabis practice at Blank Rome, told the crowd gathered at the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/&amp;sa=D&amp;source=docs&amp;ust=1728424361840576&amp;usg=AOvVaw1ND2uKc7pNLpMdV9WsPfvC">Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference</a> in Chicago on Tuesday. He was part of the panel, &#8220;Consolidation Trends in the Wake of Cannabis Rescheduling: Identifying Winners and Losers.&#8221;
While it would impact positively the balance sheets of many operators by eradicating restrictions of Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code and attracting some capital, the shift of cannabis to Schedule III would not result in big players like Wells Fargo crossing over to the marijuana industry, Segall said.
"Legalization is what they&#8217;re mandating for them to cross over," he added.
Segall, alongside three other experts, joined the panel moderated by Scott Greiper, founder and president at Viridian Capital Advisors, to discuss broader market consolidation trends following cannabis&#8217;s shift to Schedule III.
Alongside Segall, Pablo Zuanic, managing partner at Zuanic &amp; Associates LLC; Barbara Webb, tax partner at MGO and Laura Bianchi, co-founder of Bianchi &amp; Brandt discussed which types of companies are positioned to thrive and which are not, as well as how investors can identify solid bets in the new regulatory landscape while avoiding pitfalls in a competitive market.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="970" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/08170959/ccc-oct-24-banner__1_-18.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-586477" /></a></figure>
Zuanic &amp; Associates&#8217; Zuanic said that even though two presidential candidates favor <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40938172/no-turning-back-now-cannabis-rescheduling-gains-momentum-expert-offers-timeline">rescheduling</a> and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40653233/national-cannabis-roundtable-applauds-deas-move-december-hearing-on-rescheduling-set">DEA hearing</a> on the horizon — with signals the policy shift could happen next year — there's a drop in investor interest in the space. That's compared to the past four years.
"I think that we are getting all a bit ahead of ourselves in terms of optimism here," he said.
Zuanic added the reason why consolidation is not taking place is that valuations are depressed in addition to uncertainty around what rescheduling would really bring. He said the main benefit of rescheduling is making 280E go away.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Not Paying Taxes Is Not A Good Idea: Here's Why</h1>
That said, MGO&#8217;s Webb highlighted many cannabis companies are not paying their taxes, which could be counterproductive for operators if cannabis rescheduling takes place. "It&#8217;s a temporary survival tactic, but you can&#8217;t do that forever," she said, adding "the IRS eventually catches up."
Consequences could seriously affect business growth in the long run.
"You might be able to get an installment plan once they do catch up with you," Webb explained. "However, once on an installment plan, a cannabis business not only have to regularly, never miss a payment pay, but also stay current on your current year&#8217;s estimated taxes, which is a huge cash commitment."
Webb added companies that are going to be "superstars" post-rescheduling are cash flow positive with 280E.
The tactic of not paying taxes will have serious consequences when it comes to M&amp;A activity in the space, Bianchi &amp; Brandt&#8217;s Bianchi said. "That&#8217;s going to have a drastic effect on M&amp;A in the future because it&#8217;s already been an issue," she said.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Which Acquisitions Are and Will Be Hot</h1>
Speaking of acquisition targets, Bianchi said some buyers are looking at distressed assets, mainly businesses that have difficulties operationally and are not avoiding paying taxes.
She also said the trend of huge deals is over. "We&#8217;re dealing with more creative companies coming together and maybe joint ventures," Bianchi added.
Zuanic &amp; Associates&#8217; Zuanic said that &#8220;there's too much overlap" in deals where one multi-state operator is buying another one. Instead, he proposes brands as acquisition targets.
Brands are and will be a key point of M&amp;A activity, especially in the scenario where interstate commerce is legal, he continued.

Benzinga&#8217;s paper trading contest powered by TradeZero is nearing the end of the first of three contests as entrants compete to win over $30,000 in cash and prizes <a href="https://www.tradezeroedge.com/world-championship-of-trading?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=editorial&amp;utm_id=trading_competition&amp;utm_content=static" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">during a monthly contest.</a>
While Contest 1 may be nearly complete, contestants still have a shot at over $25,000 in cash and prizes in two additional contests, with Contest 2 set to kick off on Oct. 15.
Here&#8217;s how you can take home your share of cash and prizes and win a tour of the New York Stock Exchange.
The Contests:&nbsp;Powered by&nbsp;TradeZero, the&nbsp;<a href="https://benzingapartners.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=467&amp;aff_id=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World Championship of Trading</a>&nbsp;is the ultimate trading competition for investors to prove their keen eye during a three-month time period.
The first of three separate contests kicked off on Monday, Sept. 16. Contestants had until Monday to sign up for the first contest, which runs through Oct. 14.
Each investor will have around one month across three separate contests to generate the highest profits from a starting balance of $100,000 in a simulated trading account.
Contestants in the World Championship of Trading will have access to Benzinga's Live Squawk product.
Investors will also gain exposure to TradeZero's newly patented short-selling tools.
Here are the top four traders in the first portion of the contest as of Oct. 7:
<ol>
<li>Andrea S: $1,088,390.70</li>
<li>Sneha O.: $366,650.00</li>
<li>Stephen L.: $330,021.80</li>
<li>Benjamin H.: $325,733.04</li>
</ol>
The tenth-place trader has a balance of $217,997.50, meaning the top 10 traders have all gained at least 100% since the contest began.
First Place Held Down: The leaderboard has featured frequent changes among the top 10, but the leader has been fairly consistent. Andrea S. has been in the top 10 for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41126924/benzinga-world-championship-of-trading-powered-by-tradezero-contestants-up-90-in-just-2-weeks-join-n"> three weeks straight</a>, with a first-place position in the last two weekly updates. Andrea S. had a balance of $810,808.75 last week, which means she added nearly $200,000 to her contest trading balance over the last trading week.
In an interview with Benzinga, Andrea revealed she is working on her PhD in mathematics and keeping her eyes on the market during the trading contest.
"It's been wild. I didn't expect to end up in first place," Andrea said.
The contestant said she has learned more about finance and trading in recent years and did some internships in the quant trading sector. Andrea said she has applied the things she learned to trading and sought out to see if they would work in a retail trading contest.
"I think I got lucky."
With a goal of winning the contest now, Andrea is now using strategies that are not like her regular trading.
"I'm going to take on much riskier positions."
The trader said they recently bought some call options in the Chinese stock PDD Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>) after seeing the stocks was up thanks to news of a China stimulus.
Andrea has also been looking at semiconductor stocks recently, naming Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, NVIDIA Corporation and Super Micro Computer.

Insurance companies operating in Florida face significant challenges following two intense hurricanes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41231817/hurricane-milton-dire-warning-if-you-choose-to-stay-youre-going-to-die-officials-encourage-writing-n">Helene and Milton</a>. 
What Happened: After Hurricane Helene, losses for private insurers were <a href="https://www.wusf.org/weather/2024-09-25/helene-could-cause-billions-in-private-federal-insurance-losses">estimated</a> at $3 to $6 billion. Hurricane Milton, expected to make landfall Wednesday on Florida's Gulf Coast near Tampa, is adding further strain to Florida&#8217;s insurance market.
High claim volumes, rising premiums and an exodus of insurers already slammed customers. With Hurricane Milton looming, the market could experience further destabilization.
The average annual premium for homeowners' insurance in Florida has surged to $10,996, making it the highest in the nation. 
Insurify <a href="https://insurify.com/homeowners-insurance/report/home-insurance-price-projections/">projects</a> that this number will rise by an additional 7% in 2024, bringing the average to $11,759. This figure is nearly four times the national average, driven by multiple factors including the increased frequency and severity of hurricanes, rising costs of building materials, and issues with reinsurance. 
Florida has also seen a significant number of insurance companies pull out of the state, further exacerbating the situation​.

Stocks To Watch: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41239644/hurricane-milton-evacuations-a-matter-of-life-and-death-biden-says-feds-bostic-says-storm-could-">ongoing hurricane activity in Florida</a> is expected to impact several major publicly traded insurance companies.
Key insurers facing challenges include: 
<ul>
<li>Allstate Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALL#NYSE">ALL</a>) </li>
<li>Travelers Companies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TRV#NYSE">TRV</a>) </li>
<li>Progressive Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PGR#NYSE">PGR</a>) </li>
<li>State Farm (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STFGX#NASDAQ">STFGX</a>) </li>
</ul>
Citizens Property Insurance Corp. covers more than 1.4 million policies but with much higher premiums, averaging $21,707 annually​. Dubbed Florida's insurer of last resort, the company is transferring more than 648,000 policies to private insurers, per <a href="https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2024/10/04/what-citizens-insurance-depopulation-means-for-florida-homeowners/">Click Orlando</a>.
These companies are experiencing heavy financial strain due to increased claims, which will likely lead to higher premiums and reduced coverage availability. Smaller, regional insurers operating in Florida may also face insolvency or further pressure to exit the market.
Why It Matters: According <a href="https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/property/florida-insurers-deny-nearly-half-of-hurricane-claims-ratings-agency-says-508765.aspx">to</a> Insurance Business Magazine, citing Weiss Ratings data, several large Florida insurers denied nearly half of homeowner claims closed in 2023. 
Among these carriers were:
<ul>
<li>Castle Key Indemnity Co., denied 47.1% of claims</li>
<li>Castle Key Insurance Company, at 46%.</li>
<li>State Farm Florida Insurance Company, denied 46.4% </li>
</ul>
Coverage is often denied to conserve cash and avoid bankruptcy.
How We Got Here: While it&#8217;s difficult to attribute any single hurricane directly to climate change, many scientists say that climate change exacerbates the frequency of extreme weather events.
Warmer ocean temperatures, fueled by global warming, provide more energy for storms, making hurricanes such as Helene and Milton more intense.
Rising sea levels also contribute to more severe storm surges. Additionally, changing weather patterns may cause slower-moving storms, leading to more rainfall and prolonged damage in affected areas. Overall, climate change plays a role in the increasing severity of storms.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis <a href="https://www.flgov.com/2024/10/08/governor-ron-desantis-issues-updates-on-state-preparedness-efforts-for-hurricane-milton-3/">declared </a>a state of emergency for 51 Florida counties. So far, he has generally avoided directly linking the increasing intensity of hurricanes in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/climate-change">Florida to climate change</a>.

Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted by active traders as a bullish signal.&nbsp;

Tradepulse Power Inflow Alert: Honeywell International Inc. Receives Alert And Rises 1.6% During Trading Day

As the 2024 elections approach, the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) released its annual voter guide to inform citizens about where their gubernatorial and Senate candidates stand on cannabis policy reform.
With over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/11/35674739/marijuana-legalization-support-hits-record-70-as-republicans-join-the-majority-shows-gallup-poll">70%</a> of Americans supporting cannabis legalization, the stakes are high for federal and state-level reform, especially as 11 states will vote for their next governor and 34 Senate seats are up for grabs.
<ul>

You can&#8217;t afford to miss out if you're serious about the business.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why These Elections Matter</h3>
Governors and senators hold significant power over cannabis policy. At the state level, governors can veto or sign cannabis reform bills and direct agencies to either implement or block regulations. Meanwhile, at the federal level, the U.S. Senate is the critical battleground for national reform.&nbsp;
Bills like the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/22/03/26335420/lawmakers-release-report-on-more-act-ahead-of-house-floor-discussion">MORE Act</a> (which seeks to federally legalize cannabis) and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41239355/exclusive-former-congressman-ed-perlmutter-predicts-2024-election-results-and-their-impact-on-ca">SAFE Banking Act</a> (which would grant cannabis businesses access to financial services) have garnered bipartisan support but face a major hurdle: the Senate's filibuster rules.
The filibuster requires 60 votes to move legislation forward, creating a significant barrier to cannabis reform, even though a supermajority of Americans support legalization. With the balance of power in the Senate up for grabs in the November election, the composition of the next Senate will determine whether federal cannabis reform finally has a path forward.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What The MPP Voter Guide Covers And How You Can Use It</h3>
The <a href="https://www.mpp.org/">MPP</a> voter guide is more than just an overview of candidate positions, it's a tool for shaping the future of cannabis legalization. By breaking down public statements, voting records and policy positions, the guide allows voters to see clearly where candidates stand on cannabis reform.
Voters can use this information to not only make informed choices at the polls but also target advocacy efforts. If a candidate in your state supports cannabis reform, your vote could help secure their seat and advance legalization. 
If they oppose it, now is the time to make your voice heard through petitions, letters and calls to ensure elected officials know how important cannabis reform is to their constituents.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Filibuster Schmilibuster: Why Your Vote Can Smoke Out Senate Stalling</h3>
At the federal level, the filibuster has stalled cannabis reform despite growing public support. The MORE Act and SAFE Banking Act are key pieces of legislation that have struggled to gain enough momentum to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/09/34731016/safe-banking-act-headcount-challenge-can-it-reach-60-votes-in-the-senate-analyst-ta">overcome the 60-vote filibuster threshold in the Senate</a>. That's why understanding your senators&#8217; positions is critical.
The <a href="https://www.mpp.org/takeaction/election-central/voter-guides/2024-gubernatorial-cannabis-voter-guide/">MPP guide</a> helps voters determine which senators are blocking reform and which ones are pushing it forward. By using the guide, you can strategically advocate for reform by contacting your senators and urging them to support cannabis legalization. In a closely divided Senate, every vote and every voice matters. This election is an opportunity to break through the Senate's block and make real progress on cannabis reform.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Key Races To Watch</h2>
With 24 states and Washington D.C. already legalizing adult-use cannabis, this election could see further expansion in states like Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota, where voters will decide on cannabis reform initiatives.

Several key races stand out this year. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Arizona </h3>
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/arizona-cannabis">Arizona</a>, Ruben Gallego (D) has been a consistent advocate for federal cannabis legalization, supporting both the MORE Act and the SAFE Banking Act. His opponent, Kari Lake (R), has opposed cannabis reform, providing a clear contrast for voters who support legalization.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Florida </h3>
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/florida-cannabis">Florida</a>, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D) backs Amendment 3, which seeks to legalize adult-use cannabis and has highlighted the barriers Black farmers face in the cannabis industry. Meanwhile, Rick Scott (R) has remained firmly against adult-use legalization and has opposed the SAFE Banking Act, making this race pivotal for cannabis reform in the state.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">North Dakota </h3>
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/north-dakota-cannabis">North Dakota</a>, while voters will consider adult-use legalization, candidates like Kelly Armstrong (R) have voiced opposition to broader cannabis reform, though he has supported banking-related measures. This reflects the divided stance on cannabis issues in the state.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">D.C. </h3>
At the federal level, Sherrod Brown (D-OH) has been a supporter of cannabis reform, consistently advocating for federal legalization and expanded banking access for cannabis businesses. In contrast, figures like Rick Scott (R) and Ted Cruz (R) of Texas remain staunchly opposed to broader cannabis reforms, including the SAFE Banking Act.

Media companies are bringing in key figures to help with viewership on the night of the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election"> 2024 presidential election.</a>
Two key figures from a hush money trial against former President Donald Trump will be featured in coverage on election night.
What Happened: Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen are among the key election night featured guests lined up for a media partnership between U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 and U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cnn">media company CNN</a>, which is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>).
Due to the significance of the 2024 U.S. presidential election and worldwide interest, Channel 4 is devoting eight hours of live programming to the event and utilizing a pact with CNN to help with a lineup of guests.
Channel 4's live programming is set to be hosted by Krishnan Guru-Murthy and Emily Maitlis from Washington D.C., according to a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/election-2024-cnn-brian-cox-channel-4-1236026602/">report </a>from The Hollywood Reporter.
To help with its "groundbreaking" coverage of the U.S. presidential election, Channel 4 will feature guest stars that include Daniels, Cohen, Caitlyn Jenner, Boris Johnson and Brian Cox.
Channel 4's special is tentatively titled "America Decides: U.S. Election Results." It will air from 10:15 p.m. UK time until early morning.

</ul>
Why It's Important: This marks Channel 4's first overnight coverage of the U.S. election in 32 years, according to the report.
While Channel 4 is publicly owned and relies on advertising, the partnership and guest lineups could put CNN on the radar as seeing potential viewership strength in its U.S. coverage.
"Channel 4's first-ever partnership with CNN will enable the sharing of guests, reporters, graphics and data across the night," Channel 4 said.
While CNN has not announced its full line-up of election night guests, it's quite possible that Daniels, Cohen and other named parties above will be part of it. The sharing of guests between CNN and Channel 4 could help both media companies throughout the day of coverage. CNN will be one of many U.S. companies covering the election outcomes live. 
With their past connections to Trump, Daniels and Cohen could offer a deeper insight into the personal implications for the former president, whether he wins or loses the election.
Both Daniels and Cohen testified against the former president in the hush money trial, where he <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/39100065/trump-found-guilty-on-all-34-counts-in-hush-money-criminal-trial-heres-what-happens-next">was found guilty</a> on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

Today's Biggest Pre-Market Stock Movers: 10 Top Gainers and Losers on Wednesday

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Nuburu (NYSEMKT:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/buru-stock-quote/">BURU</a>) stock is on the rise Wednesday alongside strong trading of the blue laser company&rsquo;s shares.



As of this writing, roughly 35 million shares of BURU stock have changed hands. That comes in above the company&rsquo;s daily average trading volume. It&rsquo;s also worth noting that the company&rsquo;s <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/BURU/key-statistics/">float is about 381,190 units</a>.



While there&rsquo;s no news today behind this movement, it could be tied to an announcement from a couple of days ago. That includes the company obtaining $500,000 in funding through an unsecured, subordinated convertible note.



<h2>Details of BURU Stock Note</h2>



This note has a 5% OID, 15% interest and a six-month maturity date. The face amount of the loan is $525,000. The note is also convertible to BURU stock for a 25% discount to a 10% premium to the shares&rsquo; price on execution or the lowest daily VWAP during the 10 days prior to conversion.



Esousa is behind the latest convertible note and also holds senior convertible notes for Nuburu. It agreed to extinguish $500,000 of these notes in exchange for the new convertible note.



It&rsquo;s also worth noting that Esousa is a 9.9% shareholder in BURU stock. This comes from the 729,299 shares owned by the company.



BURU stock is up 47% as of Wednesday morning.
