Donald Trump is now all but guaranteed to win the 2024 US Election according to the latest betting odds.
The outcome of the 2024 US Presidential election is still alive, with vote counts ongoing in key battleground states that will determine the next president.
However, the momentum appears firmly in Donald Trump’s favour, with the Republican party poised for a significant victory.
The former president has claimed victories in key swing states like Georgia and North Carolina, while Kamala Harris leads in liberal states like New York and California.
Trump is also leading in pivotal Rust Belt states, including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, though votes are still being counted.
Harris supporters are not holding out hope with Trump also leading in the remaining five swing states, including Pennsylvania, which is crucial with its 19 electoral votes.
Bookmakers have reacted by slashing the 78-year-olds odds throughout the night to a current longest price of 1/200 before counting has concluded as it seems a Republican victory is all but inevitable.
Lets take a look at how the betting progressed throughout the night.

When will we know the US Election Results?
The results of the US Presidential election could take some time to officially finalise, especially with tight races in critical swing states.
Vote counting is ongoing, and in key battlegrounds like Pennsylvania and Michigan, final results may not be available for days.
Narrow margins could also trigger recounts, further delaying the outcome.
While media outlets project early results in certain states, the official winner might not be declared until every crucial vote is counted and legal challenges are addressed.
That being said with Trump's lead as convincing as it is based on the current count, it might be expected sooner rather than later.
