(Sharecast News) - Democratic candidate Joe Biden overtook current US President Donald Trump as the favourite to win the US Presidential election.
Paddy Power upped Biden's odds saying he was now their even-money favourite to win the race, with Trump now out to 11/10 to secure another term in office.

After his victories in the primaries against his main rival Bernie Sanders, the odds of the former vice-president becoming the Democratic nominee to go head-to-head with Trump in November were now 1/25 or 96% in his favour.

After Biden confirmed that he would be choosing a woman Vice President, the bookies made Kamala Harris the 2/1 favourite to be his running mate.

Spokesman Paddy Power said: "For the first time since we opened a betting market on the 2020 Presidential Election, a candidate has overtaken Donald Trump as the favourite.

"Joe Biden is the new front-runner to win, and we make Kamala Harris the favourite to be named his Vice President."
