Why is Trump Media & Technology Group stock sliding today?

Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) stock fell 7.4% to $5.51 in pre-market trading due to potential Democratic gains in U.S. midterm elections, bearish options flow, and a record low approval rating for Trump. The company reported a Q2 2026 net loss of $238.1 million against revenue of $1.7 million. The decline is attributed to political sentiment rather than broader market trends, with a pending merger adding uncertainty.
