Some oddsmakers now favor Kamala Harris to be the next president.
On the PredictIt betting platform, the vice president moved ahead of former President Donald Trump on Wednesday afternoon, dropped back into a tie around dinner hour and then went back in front in the evening, according to a report in Forbes.
PredictIt works by asking you to buy shares, ranging from 1 cent to 99 cents, which pay off at $1 per share if the event takes place. The likelier events are more expensive to purchase a share of.
Shares of a Harris victory were being sold for 51 cents shortly after 9 p.m., and shares of a Trump victory cost 50 cents.
This was Ms. Harris’ first lead on the gambling platform since she declared her presidential candidacy in the wake of President Biden ending his campaign. It also correlates with her improved standing in recent days in polling, both nationally and in key swing states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Other betting platforms disagreed though.
At the Polymarket site, betting on a Trump victory shortly after 9 p.m. cost 55 cents per share while Harris shares cost 43.9 cents each, though, according to Forbes, that gap is still smaller than the gap between Mr. Trump’s and Mr. Biden’s shares before he dropped out.
