Donald Trump's odds to win the Oval Office are now at -156 following Joe Biden's decision to drop out - meaning oddsmakers view him as being 61 percent likely to surface as the next president come November.
It stood as a a slight dip from a day ago when the president's odds were pegged at 64 percent, suggesting some uncertainty as Democrats mull a new candidate.
In contrast, Biden's odds plummeted to essentially, according to PredictIt - as his Vice President, Kamala Harris, saw her odds rise drastically to +163. That's up from the +900 seen just days ago on July 16, and way up from back in June, before Biden's disastrous debate performance, when her chances were at an even lower +2400.
This means oddsmakers have pegged her as being 12 times more likely at pulling of a win as she was a month ago, when handicappers saw Biden's odds as around 50-50.
That statistic has since halved six times over, as the election rapidly approaches. As it does, other figures have some surprising odds as well, from California's Gavin Newsom to former First Lady Michelle Obama.
