The betting odds that former President Donald Trump will win the 2024 election have surged in the past year, pushing him into the lead over President Joe Biden — and possible GOP primary challengers.
The political betting “intelligence” site U.S. Bookies has Trump as a 3-1 favorite in 2024, up from the 10-1 odds after he left the White House nearly a year ago.
Biden, meanwhile, has gone from the 4-1 favorite a year ago to second place, with 9-2 odds.
“Donald Trump’s odds to win the 2024 election were noticeably worse than Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’s, but that has since changed after the administration’s first year in office,” a U.S. Bookies spokesperson said. “Since Biden and Harris were inaugurated, Trump surpassed both in the betting markets to become the sole favorite to win in 2024.”
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has held the position as Trump’s top replacement in the 2024 race for months, has surged from 66-1 odds to 8-1.
But former Vice President Mike Pence, dismissed by many Trump loyalists after the former president dissed his Jan. 6 role, has dropped further, going from 12-1 last January to 25-1 today. Ditto for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, who criticized Trump over his Jan. 6 actions. She went from 16-1 odds to 20-1.
