Is this Harris's high point?

"On Polymarket, Harris is now locked in an almost dead heat with Trump—44% and 45%"

"Bettors on PredictIt are giving Harris comparatively better odds of winning the election at 39%, and while Trump remains well ahead at 60%—he is down nine points over the past seven days."

Is it really news that Harris would rise in betting pool after Biden dropped out and endorsed her?

Polls and betting sites are all over the place today. It’ll take most of this week for the data noise to calm down. Harris will also get a convention bounce, so we shouldn’t overreact when it happens.

Who? I haven’t really looked at who might be Harris’s running mate. My assumption will be a White man, but beyond that I haven’t a clue.

Wait until she REALLY hits the campaign trail. After many years of tracking her, I have yet to hear a deep, intellectual thought come out of her mouth.

I'm going to make a bold prediction: There won't be a convention. Something will happen.

Of course I could be wrong but I like hedge bets.
