Vice President Kamala Harris, if tradition holds, should be seeing a bump in her poll numbers coming out of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), which will wrap up on Thursday evening as she officially accepts the 2024 presidential nomination from her party. But even as the final hours of the convention tick by, it’s her Republican opponent — former President Donald Trump — who appears to be surging.
According to a report from Fox Business, Trump received a boost on at least two betting sites, surging past Harris on Polymarket and coming up just short of surpassing her on BetUS.
As of Wednesday, Polymarket predicted a 52% chance that Trump would come out ahead in the 2024 presidential election — up six points from the 46% chance they gave him one week prior. Harris’ odds, in the same time period — despite the fact that her convention was in full swing — dropped from 51% to 47%.
