History was made in July as President Joe Biden formally announced he would not run for a second term. In becoming the first incumbent eligible in 56 years to eschew re-election, he threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris for the November election against Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump.
With Harris now the official Democratic nominee, the 2024 U.S. presidential election odds have been adjusted once again, and Trump, fresh off debating Harris on Sept. 10, is again the favorite with 24 hours to go.
Trump’s odds to win the election for the second time in eight years are now -163, which equals an implied probability of 62%. He and Harris (+140) are now in a two-person race, as Trump's large advantage over Biden has evaporated. Can Trump and his VP pick JD Vance regain the White House in less than a week?

Disclaimer: Bettors in the United States are unable to place wagers on any government election due to political betting in any capacity being prohibited. However, sportsbooks with licensed authorization outside the U.S. — including bet365 — offer betting odds for the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. Bet365, which has secured licenses in several jurisdictions across America, is currently offering 2024 presidential odds in both the United Kingdom and Canada.
Trump’s odds have lengthened from the -225 odds he had during the Republican convention. Harris’ of course continued to shorten after Biden dropped out, and her VP selection of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has also helped her galvanize moderates and independents who aren't sold on a Trump return to the White House.
And of course, Harris once again briefly became the favorite after the Sept. 10 debate.
Who Donald Trump Would Likely Be Running Against
Trump’s opponent will now officially be Harris, as she was confirmed at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in late August.
Trump Loses Ground After First Harris Debate
Trump and Kamala Harris had their first debate on ABC on September 10. Over 67 million viewers tuned in, and unfortunately for Trump, his odds lengthened slightly afterwards. Trump during the debate again faced questions over his claims he won the 2020 presidential election, as well as issues of immigration and foreign policy.
Pop star Taylor Swift also endorsed Harris on Instagram shortly after the debate.
While the debate did little to help Trump, he is again the favorite as of Nov. 4.
How To Watch Next Trump-Harris Presidential Debate
The first Trump-Harris debate aired on ABC at 8pm ET and streamed on ABC News Live, Disney+ and Hulu. "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir, along with ABC News Live "Prime" anchor Linsey Davis, served as the moderators.
Rules of the Trump-Harris Debate
The rules for the 90-minute debate meant each candidate’s microphone was only turned on when it was their turn to speak and the candidates weren’t allowed to talk to their staff during breaks or bring any notes with them. Both candidates were provided with only a pen and pad and a bottle of water.
When is the Next Trump-Harris Debate?
Trump and Harris never agreed to a second debate, with just two weeks remaining until election day.
Fallout From JD Vance-Tim Walz Debate on Oct. 1
The first vice presidential debate hosted by CBS News was set for Oct. 1 in New York City, with Walz and Vance both agreeing to participate. The debate was moderated by "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell and "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan.
In a bit of confusion, Vance agreed to the debate and also has advocated for a CNN debate on September 18th as well, though the Harris campaign has maintained the Oct.1 will be the only in which Walz participates.
Vance by many accounts performed well in the debate, and he deserves credit for helping Trump again overtake Harris and Walz on the oddsboard after the debate. CNN wrote Walz was "noticeably less comfortable onstage than Vance."
Latest Trump VP Odds: November 2024
The search is over. Hours before Trump first appeared at the Republican convention, he announced on social media that Ohio U.S. Sen J.D. Vance would be his vice presidential candidate.
Vance had been a strong favorite in recent weeks, with near even-money odds prior to Trump’s decision. Delegates at the convention officially added Vance to the ticket. He is the venture capitalist who rose to fame in 2016 after writing Hillbilly Elegy, a New York Times best-selling memoir about his family life. He then parlayed the book’s success into winning a U.S. Senate seat two years ago.
Others who had been considered for the position included North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a retired neurosurgeon and former Trump HUD Secretary Ben Carson, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and South Carolina U.S. Sen. Tim Scott.
Below are the last bet365 odds for Trump's VP before he confirmed Vance.
| JD Vance | +110 (48%) |
| Doug Burgum | +250 (29% Chance) |
| Marco Rubio | +700 (12.5% Chance) |
| Ben Carson | +900 (10% Chance) |
| Glenn Youngkin | +1600 (6% Chance) |
| Tim Scott | +1800 (5.3% Chance) |

Has JD Vance Helped Trump's Cause?
Since Trump chose Vance as his running mate, much has changed across the election landscape. Biden is out, and Harris and Walz have taken the spotlight. Vance's lack of political experience continues to drive debate across national news outlets.
