BetOnline was expected to add new names to its Democratic nominee odds as Joe Biden announced Sunday he is dropping out of the race.
BetOnline immediately pulled its odds for the moment following the news. Minutes later Vice President Kamala Harris was listed at +200 or 2-1 odds.
There will also be odds released on Harris' running mate should she become the nominee. Biden has endorsed her as his replacement.
The decision comes after escalating pressure from Biden’s Democratic allies to step aside following the June 27 debate, in which the 81-year-old president trailed off, often gave nonsensical answers and failed to call out the former president’s many falsehoods.
Biden plans to serve out the remainder of his term in office, which ends at noon ET on Jan. 20, 2025.
“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” Biden wrote in a letter posted to his X account.
