Vice President Kamala Harris has made significant gains in the election betting markets since taking over at the top of the Democratic ticket. According to the Real Clear Politics betting average, Trump entered Sunday with a 54.6% chance to win the election, while Harris stood at 39.2%, representing a spread of over 15.2 percentage points.
Although Trump still holds the favor in the market, the 15-point gap marks a notable shift over the past week. Prior to President Biden's decision to drop out of the race on July 20, Trump had a 61% chance to win, with Harris at 18.2% and Biden at 9.5%, creating a nearly 43-point gap between Trump and his closest competitor.
