Kamala Harris is now 2/1 to be the next US President
Betting remains available on the US Presidential Election later this year with betting sites now putting Kamala Harris as the second favourite in the market after Joe Biden dramatically pulled out on Sunday.
Vice-President Kamala Harris is expected to step up and run for the Democratic Party with various big names in the party endorsing her in the past 24 hours.
Gavin Newsom, Governor of California and a potential nominee previously, has endorsed Harris saying that there is no one better to "prosecute the case against Donald Trump's dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction" on his X account.
Bet365's latest betting odds give an implied probability of 33% that Harris is the next US President with Donald Trump still the clear favourite in the market.

What the expert says..
Joe Biden pulled out of the US Presidential Election race on Sunday
With weeks and weeks of reports that Joe Biden could be stepping down from the race for the US Presidential Election, Sunday night finally saw his re-election bid come to an end.
Biden said that he would be dropping out of the race but will still stay in office until his term ends in January despite calls for him to step down earlier than that.
The current President immediately endorsed Kamala Harris as his replacement as the Democratic nominee for president and it looks likely that this will happen in the coming days.

Donald Trump remains the odds-on favourite to be voted in as President once again
Donald Trump remains odds-on to win November's US Presidential Election with bookmakers slashing his odds following the failed assassination attempt on him last week.
Trump has been a big contender to be the next US President and the past two months have seen him climb his way slowly into favouritism.
That failed assassination attempt on him last weekend instantly saw his odds shorten massively though into the odds-on favourite and the uncertainty around the Democrats will just strengthen his position in the race.
