Presidential polls live updates: Trump is favorite to win six of the seven swing states, bookmaker predicts

By Katelyn Caralle, US Senior Political Reporter

Donald Trump’s odds of defeating Kamala Harris have increased in six of seven key states, with just three weeks left until Election Day.

Bettors at Polymarket make Trump’s favorability grow against Harris in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Harris only maintains a slight lead in battleground Nevada, with 51 percent compared to Trump’s 49 percent in the blue-leaning West Coast state.

The outcome of the 2024 presidential election will be determined in the seven swing states in question.

Nationally, Trump has gained 2.5 percent in the odds of beating Harris.

Polymarket has the former president’s chances of victory at 56.5 percent to the vice president’s 43.1 percent.

The betting site is funded in part by Peter Thiel, an early Trump supporter.

The first casualty was a snag that stopped Donald Trump for a minute or two while he answered questions about home prices, the border and small businesses in mid-flight.

When the second person collapsed in the heat of the crowded exhibition hall, the former president knew he had a problem. Some people down the hall were heading toward the exits and he knew he needed to warm up the crowd. It was time for plan B.

“Let’s not ask any more questions,” Trump told his audience in suburban Philadelphia. “Let’s just listen to music.”

First came Ave Marie, Schubert’s masterpiece that is a favorite at weddings and funerals, as Trump stood center stage watching in the middle distance.

Then came Pavarotti and James Brown. And finally, inevitably, the townspeople singing ‘YMCA’

Kamala Harris is reportedly in talks with Joe Rogan about giving an interview on his influential talk show, with critics calling the move a sign of desperation for the suddenly lagging Democratic candidate.

The Harris-Walz campaign met with the podcast giant’s team this week, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

However, no appearance has been confirmed yet. It comes at the same time Donald Trump says he’s already scheduled to be on Rogan’s show.

‘Joe Rogan has to have you, would you?’ A clip from the ‘Full Send’ podcast released over the weekend shows a host asking the former president.
