With just over 12 days until the 2024 United States Presidential Election on Nov. 5, former President Donald Trump remains a larger than 60% favorite to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris, even after Harris appeared in a nationally televised town hall on Wednesday night and took questions from a live audience.

In the latest presidential election odds, Trump is nearly -200, while Harris’ odds are the worst they’ve been in three months.

Let’s get to my updated presidential election predictions and everything you need to know about election betting odds, from the odds on Trump or Harris to win the election to state-by-state analysis for all 50 states and even the odds on which party will win the popular vote.

Presidential Election Odds

Odds are according to BetMGM UK. The “chance to win the election” percentages are based on implied probabilities with the vigorish removed. Gambling on elections isn’t currently legally allowed at sportsbooks in the United States.

Election Odds for Donald Trump

Former President Donald Trump is currently a -182 favorite to win the presidential election, which gives him a 60.77% chance of victory. This is the best Trump’s odds have been since the days after Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election.

Election Odds for Kamala Harris

Vice President Kamala Harris is a +140 underdog to win the presidential election, giving her a 39.23% chance of victory. The last time her odds were this long was after former President Barack Obama endorsed Harris as the Democratic nominee.

Kamala Harris Town Hall Analysis

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke for over an hour on Wednesday night in a CNN town hall hosted by Anderson Cooper. She took questions from voters about her economic policy, her faith, antisemitism, how her policies would differ from President Joe Biden’s, and many more topics, including about her opponent, Donald Trump.

Did her answers persuade any undecided voters? You can be the judge of that one, but based on the odds, it would seem the answer is a no.

Trump was a -182 favorite and Harris was a +140 underdog before the town hall, and those are still the odds after her appearance Wednesday night.

Presidential Election Predictions

Based on the current odds, our current election prediction is for Donald Trump to win 312 electoral votes and reclaim the White House. That would surpass Joe Biden’s 306 electoral votes won in 2020, as well as topping Trump’s own 304 electoral votes in 2016. If Trump were to win 312 electoral votes, it would be the most votes won by a Republican since George H.W. Bush’s whopping 426 votes in 1988, coming off the back of Ronald Reagan’s record 525 electoral votes in 1984.

Trump also has a combined 15.16% chance of winning in a landslide of more than 329 votes, with an 11.79% chance of winning between 330 and 359 electoral votes and a 3.37% chance of winning 360+.

Overall, the electoral vote-based election predictions give Trump a 62.67% chance of victory, slightly better than his 60.77% chance based on his -182 odds.

Here are the electoral vote projections for both candidates:

Which Party Will Win the Presidential Election

Party Odds Chance to Win
Republicans -182 60.21%
Democrats +140 38.87%
Independent/Any Other Party +10000 0.92%

If we zoom out from the candidates and just look at the Democratic and Republican parties, the odds on who will win the White House in November effectively remain the same. The Republicans are -182, just like Donald Trump, while the Democrats are +140, just like Kamala Harris.

The only difference between these odds and the straight-up Trump vs. Harris odds is the inclusion of the chance of an Independent or third-party candidate winning the election at 100-to-1 odds.

Odds for Winning Party of 2024 Popular Vote

Party Odds Chance to Win
Democrats -300 68.60%
Republicans +200 30.49%
Independent/Any Other Party +10000 0.91%

The Democrats are still heavy favorites to win the popular vote, but their -300 odds are much lower than the -700 odds Harris & Co. enjoyed shortly before the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

Days Until Presidential Election, Key Dates and Events to Watch

There are 13 days until the 2024 United States Presidential Election on Nov. 5. Many states are already allowing early voting and voting by mail.

Counting ballots will take weeks in some states, and the results must be certified by Congress, a process that can be contentious. The new president will be sworn into office on the steps of the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 20, marking the culmination of this intense electoral process.

Keep in mind the winner of the United States presidential election is decided by which candidate gets the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the Electoral College, not who wins the national popular vote. Those electoral votes are allocated on a state-by-state basis, based on the number of members of the House of Representatives, plus the two members of the Senate in each state, with Washington, D.C., also having three electors, for a total of 538 electoral college votes.

That means that 270 electoral votes is the minimum number needed to win the majority of the votes.
