- Presidential election odds swung further in Donald Trump’s favor, as the 45th president now has -280 odds to win the U.S. Presidential election.
- Joe Biden has +400 odds to earn a second term, while his vice president Kamala Harris has +1400 odds to win.
- Trump’s +105 odds to win the popular vote are the shortest they’ve been since the 2024 Presidential campaign began.
WASHINGTON – Saturday’s failed assassination attempt on presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump stunned the nation, but how did it impact election odds? Trump’s powerful exit off the stage after being grazed by a bullet on his ear has moved his odds at US Presidential betting sites to win the popular vote to +105 odds.
Betting Odds For Popular Vote Winner
- Donald Trump +105
- Joe Biden +150
- Kamala Harris +1200
- Gavin Newsom +1500
- Michelle Obama +1500
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr +10000
Trump’s +105 odds to win the popular vote are his shortest since the presidential campaign began. His response of fist pumping and yelling “fight” while being escorted off the stage with a bloodied face was well-received on X, especially by X owner Elon Musk.

Musk publicly endorsed Trump and compared his toughness to former president Theodore Roosevelt. The change in U.S. presidential election odds at legal sports betting sites shows Musk isn’t alone in his thoughts towards Trump.
Trump’s Presidential Odds Move To -280, Biden +400
In the heat of Trump’s New York trial back in early May, he had +110 odds to win the election while President Joe Biden had +120 odds. Notable events since – like the Presidential Debate and the failed assassination attempt – have moved U.S. Presidential Election odds heavily in Trump’s favor.
US Presidential Election Betting Odds
- Donald Trump Sr. -280
- Joe Biden +400
- Kamala Harris +1400
- Michelle Obama +4000
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. +4500
- Gavin Newsom +6500
- Gretchen Whitmer +6500
- Hillary Clinton +10000
- Nikki Haley +15000
- Ron DeSantis +20000
With growing concerns over President Biden’s health and mental wellness, other Democratic fill-ins like Kamala Harris (+1400) and Michelle Obama (+4000) have risen on the betting board. Vice President Harris previously had +7500 odds to win the U.S. Presidential Election, so there’s growing momentum for her to represent the Democratic party and oppose Trump.
