Billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones warns of a looming fiscal crisis in the U.S. due to rising government spending and a soaring deficit, projected to exceed $1.8 trillion for the 2024 fiscal year.

Jones criticizes both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris as ill-suited to address these budget challenges and emphasizes the need for substantial spending reforms.
