Update: Another swing back.
And we’ve come full circle: the betting markets are back to saying Biden has it. The Wisconsin numbers showed the absentee ballots are stunningly, overwhelmingly Biden. The process is awful but whatever happens both sides need to respect the results. Don’t hate me for saying so.

Whoop! There it is. Vegas odds have flipped and *Biden* is now the underdog in the betting market.

According to OutKick, the pattern "mirrors" 2016. Here's what the numbers looked like throughout the day.
2:45 – Biden 2/5, Trump 2/1
5:45 – Biden 2/5, Trump 2/1
8:00 – Biden 4/5, Trump 1/1
9:35 – Biden 17/10, Trump 3/10
10:00 – Biden 13/5, Trump 1/4
10:30 – Biden 15/8, Trump 4/9
11:00 – Biden 21/10, Trump 1/3
11:30 – Biden 6/5, Trump 4/6Clearly, President Trump has picked up considerable steam throughout the day, especially in the later hours, mirroring the 2016 race. However, that momentum has receded a little bit to become a closer race. (OutKick)
Trump is now a monster betting favorite to win election. It’s 2016 all over again. Literally the exact same pattern with the betting markets. https://t.co/3c5WAbp5fk
