Trump Likely to Punch GOP TicketAssuming he runs, and all signs suggest he will, the 45th president will likely be the Republican Party s nominee to challenge Biden s reelection. But bettors say the will turn out different the second time around.
Along with Trump being the betting front-runner on PredictIt, on Smarkets another online betting exchange the billionaire is the clear favorite. The peer-to-peer wagering platform currently gives Trump a 26.3% chance of winning in two years.
Donald Trump has now hit an all-time high mark on the Smarkets exchange and is pulling away as the clear favorite to win the 2024 election, Matthew Shaddick, Smarkets head of political markets, told Casino.org. Polls continue to place him way ahead of any other Republican and Smarkets prices rate him a 70% chance to run again.
But unlike PredictIt, where DeSantis 2024 odds are essentially the same as Trump s, it s Biden who has the next-best chance on the exchange at 15.2%. DeSantis is third at 13.5%.
Biden s chances are rated incredibly lowly for a sitting president, with the markets giving him only around a one-in-six chance of reelection. One-time favorite Kamala Harris is faring even worse, given just a 6% chance of a promotion to the top job in 2024, Shaddick added.
Of course, much can change between now and November 5, 2024. But there are less than 900 days before Americans will determine the 2024 outcome.
What Polls SayBiden s job , as the US economy rattles amid soaring inflation, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and an ongoing pandemic. Nearly 55% of Americans disapprove of the president s performance, according to Real Clear Politics average of the 11 polls on the matter conducted this month.
