Democratic presumptive nominee Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump in the odds to win the 2024 presidential race as betting markets switch up in her favor for the first time.

Harris moved ahead of Trump on the PredictIt betting platform on Wednesday afternoon before the odds settled back into a tie, only for Harris to retake the lead later the evening – leading by five points on Thursday. The shift comes as Harris’ campaign has been gaining momentum in key swing states, with recent polls showing her leading Trump nationally.

Trump still holds a lead on the Polymarket betting platform by 12 points with a slowly diminishing lead.

The race between Harris and Trump remains tight in battleground states, with recent polls showing Harris leading in Michigan and Wisconsin, while the two are neck-and-neck in Georgia and Arizona.
