This is where I think people are wrong to dismiss the prediction markets. Look at the amount of money that shape the odds. For Beyonce to appear at the DNC, you're talking a few thousand dollars. For the current odds on the outcome of the presidential election, we're talking literally billions. Yes, the odds (and polls) were way off in 2016, and Harris isn't so far behind that she can't come back to win. However, she's down 3-0 after two periods in my view. Very few teams come back to win from that.
