It's a major blow to Harris who has a 47% chance of winning
He's been slight favourite in the US election betting for a while now and Donald Trump's re-election campaign got another boost when sentencing for his hush money trial was delayed until after November's election.
The current betting on the Betfair Exchange has Trump at 1.9620/21, or 20/21 in fractional odds, a 51% chance of winning the election. Harris, having once held a 52% chance, is now 2.1411/10, or 23/20, a 47% chance of winning.
Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: "Another day another Donald Trump headline.
"With many people believing his hush money sentencing would lead to his demise, this evening's bombshell news will only fuel Trump's campaign - and he is currently the favorite to win the US Election at 20/21 on the Betfair Exchange.
"The betting is incredibly tight, with the odds swinging between the two in the last month .
"Almost £60m has been wagered on the outcome of November's vote and we're bracing ourselves for a flurry of bets with the two going head to head for the first time in their Presidential debate next week."
