Biden overtakes Trump in betting odds for 2020 US Presidential Election

Democratic candidate Joe Biden overtook current US President Donald Trump as the favourite to win the US Presidential election.

Paddy Power upped Biden’s odds saying he was now their even-money favourite to win the race, with Trump now out to 11/10 to secure another term in office.

After his victories in the primaries against his main rival Bernie Sanders, the odds of the former vice-president becoming the Democratic nominee to go head-to-head with Trump in November were now 1/25 or 96% in his favour.

After Biden confirmed that he would be choosing a woman Vice President, the bookies made Kamala Harris the 2/1 favourite to be his running mate.

Spokesman Paddy Power said: “For the first time since we opened a betting market on the 2020 Presidential Election, a candidate has overtaken Donald Trump as the favourite.

“Joe Biden is the new front-runner to win, and we make Kamala Harris the favourite to be named his Vice President.”
