Saturday 7 September

Donald Trump will deliver remarks at a campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin

Wisconsin is one of seven key swing states which could decide the election. Trump will be looking to overturn Biden's narrow win in 2020, however the Democrats are currently favoured to take the state on the Betfair Exchange, but it will be tight.

Odds in Wisconsin:


- Democrats: 1.695/7 (59%)
- Republicans: 2.47/5 (41%)


Sunday 8 September

U.S. Republican VP nominee JD Vance on campaign trail in California

Tuesday 10 September

US Presidential Debate on ABC - Philadelphia

The first debate between Harris and Trump will take place on Tuesday night. The previous debate in June saw President Biden face off with Trump in what commentators believe was the beginning of the end of Biden's campaign. Harris replaced him as nominee in and this will be the first time the vice president has directly crossed paths with former President Trump since then.

This is being billed as one of the key set pieces of the election and is sure to have millions of viewers world wide, and you can read more here.


Current Election Winner odds:

- Trump: 1.9620/21 (51%)

Odds in California:


- Democrats: 1.011/100
