Prediction markets are indicating that Vice President Kamala Harris is favored to win the upcoming vice presidential debate between Tim Walz and JD Vance. Polymarket, the largest prediction market, shows that 72% of bettors believe Harris will come out on top. Smaller markets also predict a win for Harris. Furthermore, prediction markets are also speculating on which hot-button topics will be mentioned during the debate, such as inflation, abortion, and the border. Additionally, there are bets on whether certain phrases will be said by each candidate. While political betting is illegal in the US, offshore platforms like BetOnline show that Walz is favored to win the debate, with Vance as the underdog. Despite the competitive nature of the debate, it is expected to be amicable, with most bettors believing that Walz and Vance will shake hands.
