Trump Will Win 2024 U.S. Election: Moo Deng, Thailand's Viral Hippo's Prediction

Moo Deng, the viral pygmy hippo from Thailand, has made a bold prediction: Republican candidate Donald Trump will defeat his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris, in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

The unusual prediction took place at the Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, where Moo Deng was presented with two fruit cakes on November 5. The zookeepers offered the hippo a choice between two watermelons—one carved with Trump’s name and the other with Harris’s name. In a video of the event, Moo Deng picked the watermelon labelled with Trump's name, while the larger hippo in the enclosure chose the one with Harris’s name.

As the election approached, both Trump and Harris campaigned in crucial battleground states on the final day before the November 5 election. Over 78 million Americans had already cast their votes by Monday, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab, which tracks early and mail-in voting. The focus was on swing states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, considered pivotal for the 2024 race. Other key battlegrounds include Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Georgia. To win the presidency, a candidate needs 270 electoral votes.

Moo Deng's watermelon choice has added a quirky touch to the high-stakes election, but as with all animal predictions, time will tell if the hippo's choice proves to be accurate.
