The Facts

  • Vice President Kamala Harris is now the betting favorite to become the Democratic nominee in the 2024 presidential election, according to multiple prediction market platforms.

  • Harris' odds of becoming the nominee surged on Thursday amid the Democratic Party's widely publicized intrigue regarding the status of Pres. Joe Biden's candidacy. Many prominent Democrats have called on the president to step down following his debate performance last month.

  • Biden's recent COVID diagnosis and ongoing political friction have prompted online betting sites PredictIt, Polymarket, and others to suggest that Biden will not be the Democrats' candidate to face former Pres. Donald Trump in the general election.
