Despite the 84% chance, mainstream media reports suggest a Trump vs. Harris debate is uncertain. The Trump campaign insists he will not debate Harris until her nomination at the Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19-22, 2024.

The campaign believes there is significant disarray within the Democratic party and will likely refrain from a debate until her selection. The campaign also noted that former President Barack Obama did not endorse Harris. Conversely, Trump has expressed willingness to participate in multiple debates with Harris before the general election.

Trump has indicated a preference for Fox News over ABC News for the debates but is willing to proceed regardless of the media channel. Harris has accused Trump of reneging on the previously agreed-upon debate schedule and has stated her readiness to debate him on Sept. 10. Currently, Polymarket bettors are confident a debate will happen, but bets also show Trump leading by a significant margin. As of July 26, Polymarket bettors give Trump a 60% chance of winning the election, while Harris has a 39% chance.
