Prior to\u2062 the interview, Harris \u2062was viewed \u2063as the favorite but saw her odds drop from \u200b10\/11 to a tie with former\u200b President Donald Trump at 19\/20. Analysts attributed this decline to her performance, noting poor visual presentation and body language that suggested a lack of confidence. Critics highlighted significant policy reversals Harris enacted, which could undermine voter trust. During the interview, she defended these changes by asserting that her\u200c fundamental \u2062values remained consistent. the interview&#8217;s fallout has\u200b raised concerns about her leadership potential as the election approaches.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> <script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris&rsquo; much-anticipated CNN interview on Thursday did not go as she would have hoped, at least according to presidential election oddsmakers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/kamala-harris-election-odds-slide-cnn-interview-presidential-election-donald-trump-betfair-1946536\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsweek<\/a> reported, &ldquo;The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-defector-emails-pipeline-to-obama-admin-seen-as-currency\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Defector Emails: &#039;Pipeline&#039; to Obama Admin Seen as &#039;Currency&#039;\">vice president<\/a> went from being the favorite to win with odds of 10\/11 (52.4 percent) on Thursday to tied with Donald Trump on 19\/20 (51.3 percent) each on Friday morning, according to the Star Sports betting company.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Over the same period, Trump&rsquo;s odds of victory in November improved from 21\/20 (48.8 percent) before the interview to 20\/21 (51.2 percent), according to U.K. based bookmaker Betfair,&rdquo; the outlet noted.<\/p>\n<p>Star Sports betting analyst William Kedjanyi also spoke to Newsweek.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Vice President Harris is now tied at 19\/20 with Republican candidate Donald Trump, drifting slightly from 10\/11 yesterday,&rdquo; the analyst said. &ldquo;The Californian had been 5\/6 in recent weeks but she has failed to surge ahead of Trump in the market.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>  <script> \t\t\t\tif( ! getCookie( 'ff_subbed' ) ) if( typeof FFADS.replace_ict !='undefined' ) if( FFADS.replace_ict ) eval( FFADS.replace_ict ); \t\t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Kedjanyi added: &ldquo;GOP supporters will hope Trump can now go on to tip the balance in his favor, before November&rsquo;s presidential election.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/siladityaray\/2024\/08\/30\/trump-and-harris-locked-in-a-virtually-tie-in-election-betting-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Forbes<\/a> pointed out that while Trump was behind Harris by about 2 points among bookmakers following the Democratic National Convention last week, but then gained some ground over the past week following Robert F.

According to Newsweek, her odds of winning dropped from 10\/11 (52.4 percent) on Thursday to a tie with Donald Trump at 19\/20 (51.3 percent) by Friday morning, based on data from Star Sports betting company. Meanwhile, Trump&#8217;s chances improved from 21\/20 (48.8 percent) before the interview to 20\/21 (51.2 percent), as noted by U.K.-based bookmaker Betfair.<\/p>\n<p>Star Sports betting analyst William Kedjanyi commented that Harris&#8217;s position has shifted slightly since yesterday and that she had previously been at 5\/6 in recent weeks but failed to gain an advantage over Trump in the market.
