I have no idea about William Hill. But the odds they describe sound about right to me, and the Nate Silver thing and the summary of Trump’s speech sound informative

Well that's a click bait title. It's based on betting markets that the head line completely misinterprets. The article itself admits Trump is still the favorite by far.

Trump’s dopey fascist face kinda looks like the Halloween 4 mask.

The whole thing has a Saul Goodman commercial vibe.

I do think it's funny that Biden's team has figured out that the winningest move is to just talk about Republican policies, 2025, etc. My entire life I've pretty much only wanted to talk policy and rolled my eyes at every single other thing that people said mattered, and it's like I'm finally getting just a little vindication.

The only sad thing is that it seems like they're (still?) only talking about the other side's policy, rather than backing their own policy based on its strength.

Just "I'm not the other side" (but at least with policy rather than personality)

I’ve been tracking the odds on Betfair. They have moved from 1.54 to 1.58 (decimal odds, 1 is dead cert, 2 is 50/50), so very marginally less likely Trump win. ‘Slumped’ they have not.

Harris is at 5.4 and Biden way behind at 15.5.
