US Presidential Election Odds: Bookmakers Can't Split Trump And Biden

If the bookmakers across the pond are anything to go by, we’ll have the closest US Election in many years. As of today, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are 10/11 (-110) joint-favorites for November's historic election.

For many months in 2019 and early 2020 Donald Trump was a heavy favorite to get four more years, but that turned on it's head after the outbreak of COVID-19. After securing the Democratic seat, Joe Biden took over as betting favorite in May and he's been seen as the front runner for the last four months with the oddsmakers. Now, however, they're in deadlock and can't be separated in the betting market.
