Trump takes a big lead over Harris in betting odds for November, but one Dem is a surprise with her chances

Donald Trump has taken the lead in the presidential betting odds against Kamala Harris.

The former president is currently -200 favorite to win the presidential race, while Harris is roughly a 2/1 underdog at +185, according to BetOnline. The newest results come as President Joe Biden announced he would no longer seek reelection in November.

But third on the list is none other than former First Lady Michelle Obama, who left the White House in 2017, with odds at +2000.

Tied behind Obama is Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. All of them are listed at +2500 or greater.

Further down the list, several of the possible candidates to be Harris’s running mate can be found. California Governor Gavin Newsom comes in ahead of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is tied at +15000 with actor George Clooney, a major Democratic fundraiser. Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker both come in at +30000.

This is according to the offshore betting site as it’s illegal to bet on US elections in the United States.

On the day before the debate between Trump and Biden, Trump’s odds to get back to the White House were -120 before moving to -150 as the “high level of interest and wagering” continued, BetOnline.ag sportsbook manager Adam Burns said, according to Newsweek.

On July 18, as pressure was mounting on Biden to drop out of the race, BetOnline sportsbook brand marketing manager Dave Mason took part in the WagerTalk podcast, sharing updated odds with Trump at -250, Harris at +280, and Biden +850.
