Press Room
An Election Like No Other
It is less than two weeks out from the US Presidential election, and the Betfair Market has just ticked over $200 million in matched volume, with a huge flurry still predicted to come.
While unlikely to reach the dizzying volume of the 2020 Trump/Biden race, when over a billion dollars was matched, it already ranks in the top 10 for all betting markets, since the Exchange launched in 2000.
Betfair is offering comprehensive analysis, previews and betting options for the historic Trump vs Harris presidential election on November 5.
Betfair's political analyst is providing three previews a week, highlighting the key swing states, college vote markets and of course the head-to-head. Check out this link for the latest Election previews

Donald Trump is currently a shorter price on the Exchange than he has been at any stage in this race and is shorter than he was before both the 2016 and 2020 elections he contested.
Trump shortened significantly after the debate with Joe Biden, but Kamala Harris became the favourite to become President in the day's following her announcement as candidate and her debate with Trump, however momentum has swung heavily towards the Republican candidate in the last three weeks.
In an election like no other, Kamala Harris is seeking to become the first female President of the United States, whilst Donald Trump is looking to become only the second US President, and the first since the 1890s to serve two terms nonconsecutively.
To keep Australians abreast of all the drama, Betfair Australia will be providing up to the minute updates on social media around market moves, firms and drifts and results from key swing states.
