Republican Donald Trump remains the main favorite to win the United States presidential election. According to Paul Ashworth, chief economist for North America at Capital Economics, this is the current situation.
Although betting markets suggest Trump’s odds of beating Democrat Kamala Harris are slightly lower than his odds of beating Joe Biden, he still leads the race. Thus, Trump remains the strongest candidate in the electoral dispute.
Ashworth said: “Harris will have a real chance to sell herself to the American public in the second presidential debate, currently scheduled for September 10, although the Trump campaign may withdraw, not wanting to face the former lawyer.”
Joe Biden, the current president of the United States, announced last Sunday the end of his re-election campaign after days of intense pressure from Democratic Party allies and campaign donors.
In a statement on the social network X, Biden declared that he supports the nomination of Kamala Harris, the current vice president, as the Democratic party’s candidate for president in his place.
Republicans, on the other hand, argue that Biden should resign from the presidency if he cannot run for re-election. This change brings a new dynamic to the presidential race, with Harris potentially being Trump’s main opponent.
Ashworth’s analysis highlights the importance of debates and Harris’ ability to connect with voters during the campaign.
Donald Trump campaign
Donald Trump‘s campaign now faces the challenge of competing against a new opponent. In other words, this could bring a more vigorous and different approach to Biden’s.
This new scenario could influence the strategies of both campaigns, as American voters prepare for an unusual presidential election full of surprises.
Betting markets continue to watch developments closely, adjusting odds as new events and statements emerge. Biden’s departure represents a significant change in the electoral landscape, making the race even more unpredictable and challenging for everyone involved.
American politics, always dynamic, is facing yet another crucial moment that could redefine the country’s future. With Biden’s departure, expectations fall on how Harris and Trump will conduct their campaigns and how voters will react to the new circumstances.
