With political advertisements across the airwaves, in your mailbox, and on your phone, it is hard to escape any messaging regarding elections this year. Per a recent report from BetUS, the 2024 U.S. Election to select the 47th President of the United States is going down to the wire, with both candidates making a final push on why they deserve your vote. Polls, as of this article’s writing, indicate that the election will once again come down to the traditional swing states. These include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and North Carolina, where former President Donald Trump currently leads Vice President Kamala Harris. Moreover, not only is Trump leading in the swing state polls, but he is also leading Harris in the U.S. Presidential election betting odds, according to sportsbooks such as BetUS, one of the few companies offering 2024 election odds. 

In this report, SBS will be going over the latest gaming news coming from BetUS along with some more notes and news about the sportsbooks and beyond. 

Trump & Harris are in a tough toss-up battle at BetUS

Per the same article, with early voting underway, October will make or break the presidential hopes of both Trump and Harris as we barrel toward the November 5th election. Currently, the implied odds give the former president a 64.29% chance of winning the election, while Harris’ odds of an upset are at 39.22%. Both candidates have been on a media blitz since the debate, with Trump coming off a highly touted Fox News taped town hall with the Spanish-language network Univision in Miami and a high-dollar fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago. Trump, the article notes, also received a boost from a huge endorsement from Tesla and X CEO Elon Musk, who reportedly funded a pro-Trump PAC to the tune of $75 million over the last few months. 

Harris, who has been criticized for not doing enough interviews, has been on a media tour as well with high-profile sit-downs with Howard Stern, Charlamagne tha God, and the Call Her Daddy podcast before last week’s interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier

Pennsylvania seen again as pivotal battleground state

Also covered in the article, in the 2020 election, Pennsylvania played a key role in helping Joe Biden secure the presidency and rebuild the “blue wall.” Historically, Democratic candidates have had significant success in the state until Donald Trump’s win in 2016. Biden’s Pennsylvania victory in 2020 was tightly contested by just 1.2 percentage points. As the swing state with the highest electoral votes, Pennsylvania remains crucial in elections, and this year that is no different, with both sides making it the most visited state for campaign stops than any other. That’s not all – election dollars are flooding Pennsylvania, with nearly 25% of all ad spending from both campaigns in the first three weeks of September being spent in the state. 

Recent surveys have found the overall race in Pennsylvania to be within the margin of error for polls. 

A survey, the report says, from the highly respected Quinnipiac University this month found Harris up three percentage points, a Philadelphia Inquirer/New York Times/Siena College survey found her up four points, and the Wall Street Journal has Trump up one point

The 2024 race could mark a historic election event

If Trump wins the election, the article notes, it would mark a historic return to the White House, as he would be the first president in over 100 years to serve two non-consecutive terms. If he loses, he will be the first one-term U.S. President since Jimmy Carter. Speaking of former President Carter, he was able to cast his mail ballot for Vice President Kamala Harris weeks after turning 100, making him the oldest living U.S. President. Even though he has been in hospice care since February 2023, he previously told his son, Chip Carter, that he was hoping to live long enough to vote for Harris, who is the first woman, first Black, and first Asian American to hold the VP office. 

Of course, if elected president, she would make history again as the first woman and the first president of mixed Asian and African descent. Both Trump and Harris are lining up for a strong finish before November 5th. Earlier this month, Trump announced he would hold a rally at Madison Square Garden, in the heart of Manhattan, on October 27th. The Garden, which is the home of the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, hosted the Republican National Convention in 2004 and the Democratic National Convention in 1924, 1976, 1980, and 1992.
