How the odds in the 2024 presidential election have changed after the debate

This story has been updatedto add new information.

Similar to the Democratic presidential candidates in 2016 and 2020, Vice President Kamala Harris was able to influence the results in her favor in the betting markets and polls following last week's debate with former President Donald Trump.

The change in offshore betting odds for the 2024 presidential race is smaller than for Trump's other inaugural debates. Still, bettors now say Harris is more likely to win despite the few percentage points he lost, according to Polymarket, a crypto trading platform. Betting on the presidential election is not legal in the US.

Trump and Harris' odds of winning were 49% at the end of the debate. After the odds shifted slightly in Trump's favor the next morning, Polymarket bettors gave Harris a better chance of winning. Her odds were 51% to 48% for Trump as of 9:00 a.m. EDT on Saturday.
