Claims made about Kamala Harris’ record as VP and Attorney General
A number of claims have been made about Vice President Kamala Harris since President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 election.
Bettors around the world have taken the “vibe shift” in the presidential race to the sports book.
The action, which U.S. bookmakers cannot legally take part in, between presumptive Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump narrowed as the race slipped under 100 days until election day.
Harris pulled closer to Trump at the books as she has assumed the presumptive nomination and through her first full week of campaigning.
Harris started the race +200 at U.K. bookmaker Bet365 but shortened her odds to +137 one-week in. Trump began the race against Harris at -200 at Bet365 but stands at -175 as of Monday. The odds for both candidates have moved in similar ways at all three offshore books USA TODAY has regularly surveyed.
Here are the odds in the 2024 general election as of July 29:

Biden was the betting favorite in the 2020 race, holding the pole position with Oddscheker from May through November.
