Vice President Kamala Harris is seeing a surge in her chances of becoming the Democratic nominee for president, according to Polymarket, a popular crypto-based prediction market platform. Following President Biden\u2019s underwhelming debate performance, there has been a significant shift in market sentiment.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the odds of Harris securing the Democratic nomination<\/strong> rose sharply. Shares of the contract predicting her nomination climbed to 31 cents in the afternoon, suggesting a 31% likelihood of her being nominated. This is a substantial increase from the 7% odds earlier in the day. However, the shares later fell back to 23%<\/strong>. For comparison, Michelle Obama stands at 6%, while Gavin Newsom is at 4%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Potential Biden Withdrawal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The boost in Harris\u2019 odds is linked to the \u2018Biden drops out of the presidential race\u2019 market, which currently suggests a 46% chance of this outcome. If Biden were to step aside, Harris could be seen as a natural successor by many of his supporters.<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden is still officially the leading Democratic candidate. Nonetheless, there\u2019s growing pressure from some quarters for him to withdraw, especially after his lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump, who is expected to be the Republican nominee.<\/p>\n

Republican V.P. Speculations<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the Republican camp, the market is speculating that Doug Burgum might be Trump\u2019s running mate, with a 42% probability<\/strong> at the time of reporting.<\/p>\n
