Looking at Harris -270 over Trump +210, at BOL, to win the popular vote.
It seems a lot of voters who simply weren't going to vote for either of our choices are entering the election now, since "the change," and many are young ones even speaking with their donations, many first timers as well.
These new voters are not coming in to vote red, obviously as there was a bump for sure with the change.
On top of that, JD Vance looks to be, by just about any metric, the worst non incumbent VP pick in history, and by some metrics in at least 40 years.
It was bad enough there was no bump after a very energized GOP convention, but then he spoke; and he keeps speaking.
The reality is that Vance is not just repelling voters, he's repelling groups of voters, like women, black people, and independant voters.
We simply haven't seen the GOP side try to reach uncommitted voters, or any other voters than the base. Worse for them, it's like they are sabotaging themselves. For example, who thought it was a good idea to go in front of the NABJ and say that shit?
Pretty clear no voter was gained that day.
So it seems the red side is less likely to take over the popular vote than ever before, even if they were most likely than ever to do it just a handful of weeks ago.
We see "value" here on the Harris -270. This could easily be -500 or more and the only question remains whether or not your bet will be returned if she doesn't run in November, for whatever reason. A call to the bookmaker will be made.
Does the runner need to start the race for the bet to be valid? If so, in this case, we believe -270 is a steal.
