  • Trump pulled ahead with a 51% chance of regaining the U.S. presidency.
  • Traders have placed $99 million in on-chain bets on Trump winning the election, with over $95 million put on Harris.

Election punters on Polymarket are favoring Republican candidate Donald Trump once again as Democrat Kamala Harris’ odds slipped to 47% over the weekend from even odds earlier.

Odds of Trump winning the November elections surged to highs of 71% in July before tumbling to lows of 44% in August as incumbent Joe Biden said he would not contest before Harris was announced as the candidate. Her chances rose to over 55% in early to mid-August to emerge as a favorite.
