The Presidential election has seen some very interesting shifts in the betting odds market, a market which is generally a very good indicator of who will win.

Following the disastrous debate performance from Joe Biden which led to the President dropping out of the race, former President Donald Trump saw his chances rise up to nearly 70% right around mid-July, according to ElectionBettingOdds.

Once Vice President Kamala Harris entered the race, things changed dramatically and Harris saw her chances climb to a peak of 54% around the middle of August, but things have cooled down in the past few weeks.

After dipping all the way to roughly a 44% chance around the time of Harris’ peak, former President Trump back to above 50% as of September 5 while Harris sits at just under 48 percent.

Trump has seen his chances increase roughly 1.5% over the last week while Harris has a similarly numbered decrease.
