Trump's election odds decline as betting markets shift following rally controversy

Donald Trump's chances of winning the 2024 presidential election have decreased in recent days, according to betting markets. His odds fell from 64% on October 29 to 56% by November 1, while Kamala Harris's odds improved from 36% to 44%. Polling shows a close race, with Harris holding a slight national lead of 1.2 points. However, FiveThirtyEight still gives Trump a 53% chance of victory overall, compared to 47% for Harris. At a recent rally, Trump faced controversy after a speaker made derogatory comments about Puerto Rico. In response, Trump was photographed in a garbage truck, joking about the situation and his campaign branding.
