Bettors see the Presidential race narrowing as Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris‘ momentum cuts into lead Republican nominee former President Donald Trump at the betting window.
With Trump leading Harris at -200 to +200 at United Kingdom bookmaker Bet365, the two major candidates started the campaign. Trump still leads but is only -138 to Harris’ +110 after two weeks of campaigning. The current odds proposes that bettors give Donald Trump a 58% chance of winning the White House to Kamala Harris’ 47.6%.
The swing in the odds happened ahead of vice-presidential pick of Harris and the Democractic National Convention. These two events commonly give a candidate a boost in the polls.
On Monday, the vice-presidential betting market narrowed further. This is as Bet365 made Pennsylvania Governor Josh Sharpio (D) and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz (D) the only options on their board. According to the report of Reuters, two governors are the Kamala Harris’ finalists for the pick.
