Kamala Harris announced yesterday that Tim Walz would be her running mate in the upcoming US election.
Kamala Harris announced Tim Walz as her running mate yesterday at a rally in Philadelphia, just hours after securing the Democratic nomination.
In choosing the 60-year-old Midwestern governor, military veteran, and union supporter, Harris aligns herself with a leader who has enacted a progressive Democratic agenda, including robust abortion rights protections and substantial aid for families.
This selection also underscores her strategy to strengthen her campaign's position in the crucial Upper Midwest region, a key battleground in the upcoming election.
Harris expressed confidence in her ticket's prospects of winning the US Election, describing the matchup between her Democratic team and the Republican ticket of Donald Trump and JD Vance as a “varsity team versus the JV squad.”

Who will win US Election?
Since the announcement that Tim Walz would be Kamala Harris' running mate for the US election, Kamala Harris has taken 40% of the total bets made through oddschecker on potential winners of the US Election market.
Trump has been slightly more popular with 52% of total bets.
However, this is not to say that the race for presidency hasn't taken a different complexion since Harris has taken over from Biden, as Democratic chances of victory have improved significantly (see below).

|---|---|---|
| Donald Trump | 10/11 | 52% |
| Kamala Harris | 11/10 | 48% |
Kamala Harris Odds
Harris' impressive start to her campaign has dramatically altered the narrative of the presidential race. Her highly acclaimed first speech transformed the perception from a dominant Republican party confronting a weak and ineffective Democratic opposition, to a story of a resolute prosecutor upholding the rule of law against a convicted felon who sought to undermine it.
Tim Walz also took aim at Trump's criminal record in his first rally with Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, receiving some of the loudest cheers of the night.
Kamala Harris is a current best price of 11/10 (Sky Bet) to win the US Election and become the 47th President of the US
Next President Odds
The Vice-President's odds were as long as 9/2 (18% implied probability) the day before Joe Biden announced he would be stepping down and endorsed Harris as his potential successor calling his decision to make her vice president four years ago the best he ever made.
She can be found at a current best price of 11/10 to win now (48% implied probability).
Donald Trump is currently the marginal favourite to win the US Election, with a best price of 10/11 at AKBets.
The former President was as short as 7/20 (implying a 74% chance of victory) the day before Joe Biden withdrew from the race. However, since Kamala Harris has taken over for the Democrats, Trump's chances have decreased to 52%.
