The race to the White House this year has been a bit different from previous elections, as the on-going COVID-19 pandemic has even claimed President Trump as a victim. Although it appears as if the President has miraculously beat the virus and is back on the campaign trail.

Trump’s odds sliding after debates is nothing new, after the first Presidential debate Trump’s odds faded from +129 to +148.
Based on 2016, political bettors know that despite the longer odds Trump could still pull off the victory on Election Day. His slide at sportsbooks will likely bring home a better return now than betting on the President later in the election season.
Unlike the Trump campaign, Democratic nominees Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have benefited greatly from the debates at bookies.
After each debate, the Biden-Harris campaign saw odds to win the White House become shorter, as Biden’s odds improved from -129 to -148. After the Kamala Harris’ performance in the VP debate, Biden’s odds to capture the presidency have improved even more to -200.
If Biden and Harris can continue to shed light on the differences between their administration and the current one, they could very well win the Election.
While Biden has extended his lead, there is still time for these Presidential Election odds to change as there are two more Presidential debates planned and with 25 more days to go till Election Day.
There is still a lot that can go right or wrong for both political parties.
