Donald Trump‘s chances of defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in November have increased among bookmakers following this week’s start of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
As of Tuesday evening, predictive betting website Polymarket listed Trump as a slight favorite to win the election, giving the former president a 50 percent chance to Harris’ 48 percent. The odds were reversed when the DNC got underway in Chicago just 24 hours earlier, when Harris was listed as the slight favorite.
Harris’ odds of beating Trump peaked on August 15, when Polymarket gave her a 54 percent chance of winning to Trump’s 44 percent. While the vice president’s odds worsened by a small amount on Tuesday, they have generally been on an upward trajectory over the past few weeks.
