Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) bull and Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz joked about former President Donald Trump&#8217;s potential exit from the White House race following the Republican challenger&#8217;s presidential debate with Kamala Harris.
What Happened: Novogratz took to X Tuesday night, insinuating that the Republican National Committee and vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) were deciding to replace Trump. 
The jibe came in response to what he believed was a dismal show by Trump at the debate, where Harris apparently &#8220;smoked&#8221; him.
That said, the left-leaning Democrat remained unsure about the election outcome due to close competitiveness in six crucial states. &#8220;Not sure it changes my opinion that we will go to bed election night and not know the winner,&#8221; he remarked.

Another prominent Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser also weighed in on the debate, quoting lines from singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen&#8217;s iconic song, &#8220;Everybody Knows.&#8221;
&#8220;Everybody knows the good guys lost. Everybody knows the fight was fixed. The poor stay poor, the rich get rich. That&#8217;s how it goes. Everybody knows."

Why It Matters: Novogratz has thrown his support behind <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/07/39620095/mike-novogratz-were-going-to-get-positive-crypto-legislation-no-matter-who-wins">bipartisan cryptocurrency legislation</a>, regardless of the election outcome, stating &#8220;No matter who wins the next election, we're going to get positive crypto legislation, I know that.&#8221;
The billionaire tycoon argued that most Democrats, with a few exceptions, are "pretty pro-innovation and pro-crypto&#8221; and backed the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40222089/kamala-harris-will-support-cryptocurrency-galaxy-ceo-predicts-she-wants-to-be-pro-innovati"> Harris campaign to come up with a favorable policy</a> toward the industry.
Regarding Trump&#8217;s active advocacy of the asset class, Novogratz said, &#8220;I'm not a single issue voter, indicating that cryptocurrency support was not the sole determinant in his political choices.
The 90-minute debate saw the two candidates spar over issues of importance such as the status of the economy, the cost of living, and abortion, although Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40807945/trump-themed-maga-coin-crashes-harris-inspired-token-soars-after-presidential-debate">failed to get a mention</a>.

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40806876/final-showdown-trump-and-harris-face-off-in-intense-debate-just-eight-weeks-before-election-day">much-awaited first presidential debate</a> between Republican candidate Donald Trump and his rival Vice President Kamala Harris, is now in the rearview mind. Despite detractors crying foul over Disney-owned ABC News siding with the latter, early reactions suggest Harris is the runaway winner of the face-off.
And Winner Is...: Harris won hands down, with 63% of the registered voters who watched the debate picking her as the winner over Trump, who received the backing of only 37% of the respondents, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-harris-debate-abc-09-10-24/index.html">results</a> of a CNN flash poll conducted among debate watchers showed. When these respondents were probed who they had expected to win before the debate, the honors were evenly split.
The flash poll was sent via a text message to 605 registered U.S. voters who watched Tuesday&#8217;s debate and these respondents were pre-selected using a survey of members of the SSRS Opinion Panel.
Incidentally, when Trump and President Joe Biden faced off in June, 67% of the respondents said the former outperformed his then-rival.
 In 2020 and 2016, Biden and Hillary Clinton were seen by&nbsp;debate&nbsp;watchers&nbsp;as outperforming Trump across the presidential debates, CNN said.
Harris has made some inroads among independent voters, with her favorability view increasing six points from before the debate to 45%. On the contrary, Trump&#8217;s favorability ratings eased two points to 39.
The survey respondents were closely divided over which candidate better understood the problems facing people like them, with 44% picking Harris and 40% choosing Trump, CNN said in the report.
Eighty-two percent of respondents said Tuesday&#8217;s debate didn&#8217;t affect their choice and 14% said they would reconsider but won&#8217;t change their minds, while 4% said the debate changed their mind about whom they would vote for. Trump backers were modestly more likely than Harris supporters to say that the debate had left them reconsidering.

Harris Trails On Economy: Harris continued to trail Trump in her ability to handle the economy. The CNN poll of debate watchers showed the vice president behind by 20 points, with the tally 55%-35% tally in favor of the former president. The former president&#8217;s advantage widened slightly after the debate. 
Registered voters who watched Tuesday's debate are closely divided over&nbsp;which candidate better understands the problems facing people like them, according to a CNN poll of debate watchers conducted by SSRS, with 44% saying Harris does and 40% picking&nbsp;Trump.&nbsp;
Ahead of the debate, 43% said Trump had a better understanding of their problems while&nbsp;39% said Harris did.&nbsp;
The pollster noted that the respondents were six points likelier to be Republican-aligned than Democratic-aligned, which translates to about four points more GOP-leaning than all registered voters nationally.
The poll's results reflect opinions of the debate only among those voters who tuned in and aren't representative of the views of the full voting public. Debate watchers in the poll were 6 points likelier to be Republican-aligned than Democratic-aligned, making for an audience that's about 4 percentage points more GOP-leaning than all registered voters nationally.

What Happened: President Joe Biden expressed strong support for his Vice President, stating on social media platform X, &#8220;America got to see tonight the leader I&#8217;ve been proud to work alongside for three and a half years. Wasn&#8217;t even close. VP Harris proved she&#8217;s the best choice to lead our nation forward. We&#8217;re not going back.&#8221;

Meanwhile, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) accused Harris of lying about Biden&#8217;s fitness to serve and the state of the country. Greene stated, &#8220;Kamala Harris says she&#8217;s &#8216;not Joe Biden.&#8217; She&#8217;s just his VP, she just lied and said Joe was fit to serve, and she just insists that America is better off than it was before Joe Biden took office.&#8221;

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) highlighted Harris&#8217;s stance on housing, mentioning her own bill to address the issue. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) emphasized the contrasting visions presented by Harris and Trump, calling for Democrats to support Harris&#8217;s campaign actively.

Why It Matters: The debate, held at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, was moderated by ABC World News Tonight anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis. This was the first and potentially only debate between Harris and Trump, occurring just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40806876/final-showdown-trump-and-harris-face-off-in-intense-debate-just-eight-weeks-before-election-day">eight weeks before Election Day</a>.

Elon Musk&#8216;s spacecraft manufacturing company SpaceX said on Tuesday that the all-civilian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40787779/spacex-launches-polaris-dawn-crew-to-space-with-aim-of-first-ever-private-spacewalk">Polaris Dawn mission</a> has touched its maximum target altitude of 870 miles, marking the farthest humans have ventured from Earth in over 50 years. 
What Happened: &#8220;Achievement unlocked &#8211; apogee 1,400.7 km,&#8221; SpaceX said in a post on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.

The International Space Station (ISS), in comparison, travels to a maximum altitude of only about 286 miles. 
Touching the altitude of 870 miles was one of the key objectives of the Polaris Dawn mission. It is the furthest humans have traveled in space since the completion of NASA&#8217;s Apollo program in 1972.
Days Ahead: Now that the company has cleared its altitude milestone, it is now looking to conduct the first-ever private spacewalk. The spacewalk is scheduled for Thursday nearly 435 miles above the Earth.
While space agency NASA routinely conducts extravehicular activities, no private player has attempted it before, making this a landmark mission for SpaceX and commercial spaceflight companies. 
The crew will also conduct several research and science experiments on the mission.
Why It Matters: Polaris Dawn is the first of up to three human spaceflight missions planned under the Polaris program founded by&nbsp;Shift4 Payments&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Jared Isaacman.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40787779/spacex-launches-polaris-dawn-crew-to-space-with-aim-of-first-ever-private-spacewalk">launched the mission</a> to space from NASA&#8217;s Kennedy Space Center in Florida at around 5:23 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and the all-civilian Polaris Crew composed of four including its mission commander&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/0001805608/jared-isaacman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Isaacman</a>, Kidd Poteet, Sarah Gillis, and Anna Menon will spend up to five days in orbit before returning to Earth. While Isaacman and Poteet worked together at Shift4, Gillis and Menon are SpaceX engineers.
