Michigan is considered among at least seven critical battleground states that could decide the presidency in November.
Former President Donald Trump’s chances of defeating Vice President Kamala Harris have improved significantly over the past week in Michigan, according to a bookmaker.
Trump’s odds of winning Michigan’s presidential election were up by 14 percentage points with online betting platform Polymarket on Friday. Michigan is considered among at least seven battleground states that could decide the presidency on November 5.
While Polymarket still listed Harris as a 52 percent to 48 percent favorite in Michigan, the Democratic nominee saw her advantage over the Republican slip from a much wider lead of 67 percent to 34 percent only one week earlier on September 27.
Newsweek reached out for comment to the Trump and Harris campaigns via email on Friday.
Polls suggest that Michigan is very likely to be a tight contest. While Harris has been a slight favorite for the past two months, Trump has been gaining ground in the state in some recent surveys.
