Michelle Obama's Odds Continue to Slide
With it becoming apparent the democrats, polls, and even betting tickets and handle getting behind Kamala Harris, the former First Lady Michelle Obama's odds continue to slip. At an already long number of +10000 a few weeks ago, Obama is now at +15000. If anything, Day 1 of the DNC just reinforced the support for Harris, who both Michelle and former President Barack Obama have officially endorsed.
Kamala Harris at -125 After Day 1 of Democratic National Convention
According to BetOnline, before the tech-issue-riddled Donald Trump interview with Elon Musk a few weeks ago, Kamala Harris had a slight advantage over the former President in the betting markets, with her odds at -125 compared to Trump’s +105. However, on August 13, Harris’s odds improved to -130, while Trump’s slipped to +110. Now, following Monday night's Democratic National Convention opening Harris sits at -125 on BetMGM Ontario.

RFKJ Still in Play
Day 1 of the Democratic National Convention did not move the needle on Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Kennedy remains a longshot with identical +6600 odds at BetMGM Ontario to a week ago. Still, RFKJ has the third-shortest odds in the US Presidential race.
Former Republican Presidential Nominee Hopeful Nikki Haley Losing Odds Battle
Before Trump received the official Republican nomination, former South Carolina governor and US Ambassador for the UN, Nikki Haley, was gaining steam, reaching odds of +7500.

Now, with +10000 odds at BetMGM Ontario, it looks like the only way she can get into contention is if Trump drops out.

Haley's odds mirror Vice-President candidates JD Vance and Tim Walz.
