Donald Trump has taken the unofficial lead over Kamala Harris in the most recent betting odds in the race for the White House with less than a month before Election Day.
While bookmakers in the United States cannot legally take part in the action on the 2024 Presidential Election, current numbers by BetOnline show Trump leads -140 to Harris’ +120 as of Oct. 14. Other betting sites like the British Bet365 also had the former president leading Harris -138 to +110. That represents a 58% chance of Trump being elected to 47.6% for Harris as of Oct. 8
As both candidates battle in swing states, pundits have noted the Harris campaign continues to lose ground on issues like the economy and border security.
