Kamala Harris continues to reset the race for the White House.
Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race to be the Next US President has breathed fresh life into the contest from a betting perspective.
US Election Odds
Donald Trump still holds favouritism, but the latest betting odds through oddschecker give him just a 20% edge in terms of his likelihood of winning.
That's the same 20% edge at shortest price (4/7 vs 13/10) as it is at longest price (8/13 vs 7/5 best price for Harris on Ladbrokes).
You could back Harris at 7/4 on 23rd July when Trump was as short as 1/2.
Next President Odds
Interestingly, the only winning candidate who wasn't favourite at this stage on Betfair (now less than 100 days out from going to polls) was Trump in 2016.
Harris is expected to resonate with younger voters much more than Joe Biden, whose chances of retaining his position nosedived from the end of June up until his withdrawal on 21st July.
Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed 59-year-old Vice-President Harris to succeed him as the Democratic candidate.

US Vice President Odds
Kamala Harris is now 98% likely to be the Democratic candidate in the 2024 US Election, but who will be her running mate?
| Democratic VP Odds | Best Odds | Implied Chance |
|---|---|---|
| Josh Shapiro | 8/13 | 62% |
| Mark Kelly | 9/2 | 18% |
| Andy Beshear | 10/1 | 9% |
Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, is now the big favourite to be Harris' running mate as Democratic VP, with best odds of 8/11 on William Hill.
Shapiro has been the most popular bet on oddschecker over the past 24 hours, picking up 35% of all bets placed and seeing his odds slashed from a longest 11/8.
A long-term opponent of Donald Trump, Shapiro is a popular figure in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, which could be crucial for Harris in securing a victory there.
Interestingly, Harris will hold her first rally with her new VP nominee on Tuesday 6th August in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
