Betting market bailing on Fetterman after NBC interview

All it took was one interview, and John Fetterman’s odds of winning the Pennsylvania Senate race vs. Dr. Mehmet Oz have cratered. While he boasted a double-digit lead in the polls for the majority of this race (if the polls are to be believed to begin with), for the first time it’s truly looking like he’s in trouble.

Since July, the bookies were consistently giving Fetterman a 2/3rds chance of winning the race, with the odds giving as high as a 75% chance of winning in Mid-August. But on the day NBC’s above interview aired, there was an explosion in betting volume, bringing the odds down to nearly 50/50.
