Next US President Odds
As the vice-presidential debate approaches, the odds for the next US president remain tight, with Kamala Harris holding a slight edge over Donald Trump.
Harris is currently favoured at best odds of 10/11 with several leading bookmakers, reflecting her narrow lead in national polls and key battleground states.
Her campaign has focused on stabilizing her advantage, particularly by appealing to moderate voters in swing states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where the race could be decided.
On the other side, Donald Trump is close behind with odds of 21/20 at AKBets, signalling that his path to victory remains very much within reach.
Despite trailing slightly in the betting markets, Trump's campaign is banking on strong turnout from his base, particularly in the Midwest, as well as late-breaking undecided voters.
Tonight’s vice-presidential debate could be pivotal, as both running mates look to generate momentum that could shift the odds heading into the final month of the election.
Trump Odds
Donald Trump's chances of winning the election remain strong, despite narrowly trailing Kamala Harris in the polls and betting markets.
After narrowly leading in the betting at the start of September, Trump saw Harris surge ahead following her commanding performance in the first and only presidential debate.
However, with odds of 21/20 at AKBets, Trump is still within striking distance.
Bettors also remain confident he can pull it off as 45% of total bets made through oddschecker in the last seven days on the potential winner of the US Election have been on the former president.
With one month left and tonight’s vice-presidential debate still to come, Trump’s path to victory remains viable, especially if momentum shifts in the coming weeks.
