Harris Overtakes Biden in Election Odds
Kamala Harris has surpassed Joe Biden in the 2024 Election odds following a lackluster performance from the 81-year-old in the presidential debate against Trump. A CNN snap poll showed viewers thought Trump decisively won the debate, 67% to 33%.
Concerns about Biden’s age, cognitive abilities, and overall fitness for office have fueled speculation that he may withdraw from the race before the Democratic convention. A leaked video on social media shows Trump saying Harris will be the Democrats’ nominee.

While nothing is official at the time of publishing, sportsbooks believe there is a strong possibility of Harris becoming the Dems’ presidential nominee. So much so, that they are listing her with superior odds than Biden to win the election.
Harris’s implied chance at winning the election is 20%, while Biden’s is 13.3%. Despite the upheaval on the Democratic side, Donald Trump remains the overall favorite to win back the White House in November.
Odds to Be 2024 Democratic Candidate
| Candidate | Odds |
|---|---|
| Joe Biden | +125 |
| Kamala Harris | +150 |
| Michelle Obama | +650 |
| Gavin Newsom | +1000 |
| Gretchen Whitmer | +1400 |
| Hillary Clinton | +2500 |
| Robert Kennedy Jr. | +5000 |
| Pete Buttigieg | +12500 |
Joe Biden remains favored to be the Democratic nomination with odds of +125, which is 44.4% implied probability.
Biden Remains Favored in Democrat Odds
While Harris has better odds to win the election than Biden, the Democratic party odds still show “Sleepy Joe” as the Dems’ presidential candidate’s favorite. Harris briefly overtook Biden as the betting favorite to be the Democrats’ candidate on Thursday but is back to being the underdog.
Biden remaining favored to be the Democrats’ candidate but having worse overall election odds than Harris tells us something. Oddsmakers believe the Dems have to make the change to have the best chance of taking down Trump in November.
If Harris were to become the nominee, she would likely have access to Biden’s substantial campaign war chest, which experts say can only be transferred to her as the presidential nominee, not the vice-presidential pick.
However, Harris would also face scrutiny over her own disappointing approval ratings as VP. Some Democrats privately worry she lacks the political skills to defeat Trump. Still, a CNN/SSRS poll found Harris losing to Trump by only 2 points (45% to 47%), while Biden was trailing by 6 points (43% to 49%).
So, as calls for Biden’s exit grow louder, Kamala Harris has clearly emerged as the Democrat with the best odds of defeating Donald Trump if a change at the top of the ticket occurs.

In the world of politics, speculation and predictions are always a hot topic of conversation. With the 2024 presidential election on the horizon, sportsbooks have already started placing odds on potential candidates. One interesting trend that has emerged is the favoring of Vice President Kamala Harris over current President Joe Biden.
According to various sportsbooks, Harris is currently the frontrunner to win the 2024 election, with odds in her favor over Biden. This may come as a surprise to some, as Biden has only been in office for a little over a year. However, there are several factors that could be contributing to Harris’ popularity among oddsmakers.
One possible reason for Harris’ favoritism is her position as Vice President. Historically, Vice Presidents have a strong track record of winning presidential elections when they run for office. This could be due to their experience in the White House and their proximity to the president, which gives them a level of visibility and credibility that other candidates may not have.
Another factor that could be influencing Harris’ odds is her appeal to a diverse range of voters. As the first female, Black, and South Asian Vice President in U.S. history, Harris represents a significant milestone in American politics. Her background and identity could resonate with a wide range of voters, particularly those who are looking for a candidate who represents diversity and inclusivity.
Additionally, Harris has been actively involved in key policy initiatives during her time as Vice President, including leading efforts to address the root causes of migration from Central America and advocating for voting rights legislation. Her leadership on these issues could be seen as a sign of her ability to tackle complex challenges and make meaningful change, which may be appealing to voters looking for a candidate who can deliver results.
Of course, it’s important to remember that odds from sportsbooks are not definitive indicators of election outcomes. Politics is unpredictable, and many factors can influence the outcome of an election. However, the fact that Harris is currently favored over Biden by sportsbooks does suggest that she is seen as a strong contender for the 2024 election.
As the race for the presidency heats up in the coming years, it will be interesting to see how Harris and Biden navigate the political landscape and position themselves as frontrunners in the race. Regardless of who ultimately wins the nomination, one thing is clear: the 2024 election is shaping up to be an exciting and closely watched contest.
