After weeks of speculation and mounting pressure from high-ranking Democrats, Joe Biden made it official on Sunday afternoon: he is dropping out of the 2024 Presidential Election, despite winning more than enough delegates during the Democratic primaries to represent the Dems on the 2024 ticket.
Biden vociferously endorsed his Vice-President, Kamala Harris, as his replacement as the Democratic nominee.
In the wake of the stunning – yet seemingly inevitable – announcement, the odds to win the 2024 Presidential Election changed drastically.

Odds Move Towards Harris, Democrats After Biden Drops Out
Donald Trump had been a -225 favorite to win a second, non-consecutive term before Biden dropped out of the race. As of Sunday morning, the former President is -200 to win. Harris’ odds had faded to +800 early last week when Biden was adamant he was going to stay in the race despite obvious mental-health issues. But on Sunday, her odds took a gigantic leap to +225 (which is much shorter than Biden’s most-recent price of +525).
The Democrats also received a big shot in the arm in terms of the winning-party odds. They were listed at +225 at bet365 on July 14, and now are only slight +150 underdogs (40% implied win probability).
