US President Joe Biden is barely ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris on the odds board. We examine the odds and reasons for his sudden drop.
It isn't uncommon to see Joe Biden and Kamala Harris together, but the pair are now nearly neck-and-neck on the odds board as the Democrats inch closer to their national convention this summer.
The US President is now mere points ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris on the odds board for the first time in 2024. It's a shocking development considering"Sleepy Joe" was the odds-on favorite to secure his party's nomination at -500 as recently as March. At the time, Harris was a distant fourth at +1,200 behind California Governor Gavin Newsom and Former First Lady Michelle Obama , both of whom insist they have no interesting in securing the position.So, what exactly happened to derail Biden's nomination bid? Two words: the debate. The President's age and mental acuity were badly exposed on June 27 when he went head to head within a debate televised on CNN.
Harris' ascension has also had a dramatic impact on odds relating to the gender of the next US president. The odds of a male taking the top job in the nation have moved from -2,000 to -450 in the last 24 hours. Conversely, the odds of a female moving into the Oval Office have moved from +800 to +300 in the same span.
The 2024 Democratic National Convention is scheduled to take place in Chicago from August 19 to 22. Expect plenty of odds movement leading up to the eagerly anticipated event.If you choose to make use of any information on this website including online sports betting services from any websites that may be featured on this website, we strongly recommend that you carefully check your local laws before doing so.
