UPDATE 5 P.M. ET MONDAY, SEPT. 16: The latest news on this front is an apparent second attempted assassination of Donald Trump. It occurred on Sunday, Sept. 15, as Trump was playing golf at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla.

The alleged perpetrator was in the bushes along the perimeter of the club. A Secret Service agent spotted and fired shots at the person, who escaped but was later captured.

That took place just days after the first and perhaps only debate between Trump and Harris. At Ladbrokes, 2024 presidential election odds shifted post-debate, to Harris -120/Trump even money, where they remain now.

"The debate certainly had an impact our odds. We were -120 Trump vs Harris even money, and the market has now completely flipped," Ladbrokes head of political betting Kyle McGrath said. "We laid plenty of Harris at even money and then -110 during and shortly after the debate.

"We've continued to see money for Harris, and Trump is now slightly our preferred result, at this stage."
