Donald Trump's Betting Odds Rising 24 Hours Before Election Day
Published Nov 04, 2024 at 4:52 PM ESTFormer President Donald Trump's odds of defeating Vice President Kamala Harris are rising less than 24 hours before election day, according to an online betting platform.
Polymarket, which is funded in part by early Trump backer Peter Thiel, showed the former president with a 58 percent chance of winning as of Monday afternoon, while Harris has a 42 percent chance. The odds are based on the "collective wisdom" of wagers placed on the candidates, rather than outside factors like polling data.
"Trump's odds are back on the rise," Polymarket wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "Tomorrow is election day."
Newsweek reached out to both campaigns for comment via email on Monday.
