Betfair sees no change or challenge to Biden vs Trump for US 2024.
The adage of ‘expect the unexpected’ appears to have been forgotten in US politics, with all signs pointing to a repeat of Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump as the contenders for the US 2024 Election.
As it stands, nothing seems capable of derailing this outcome, even as former President Donald Trump faces his third indictment in connection with the events leading to the 6 January riots at Capitol Hill.
The indictment of a President, be it sitting or former, should be treated as a global show-stopping affair. Yet Betfair Politics sees no change in the makeup of its US 2024 markets.
Betfair Exchange remains unmoved, with Biden and Trump as the favourites to secure their respective party nominations and compete for the 2024 US Presidential Election. In terms of the US 2024 odds, Joe Biden is the favourite at 15/8, followed closely by Donald Trump at 12/5.
Sam Rosbottom, Spokesman for Betfair Politics, commented: “As the 2024 US presidential election campaign trail kicks into life, the odds suggest we’ll be turning back the clock to 2020 with Joe Biden and Donald Trump as the favourites to win their party’s backing and campaign for a second term in office. Biden is the 15/8 favourite to win next year’s vote with Trump close behind at 12/5. However, there is no close competition in the nomination markets, where both are clear favourites.”
Speculation regarding presidential hopefuls for both the Republican and Democrat parties should be frantic a year ahead of the 2024 elections. Yet, Betfair sees little movement on challengers to an 80-year-old Biden and a twice-indicted Trump, who reportedly faces 78 criminal charges.
For the Republican nomination, Trump leads significantly with odds of 4/9, comfortably ahead of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, whose odds have trailed to 9/1 following a lacklustre campaign. A look beyond Ron sees the contenders of Chris Christie, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley and Glenn Youngkin all index at above 30/1 odds, underlying Trump’s hold over GOP voters.
Meanwhile, in the Democrat camp, Joe Biden is also the clear favourite with odds at 2/5. Gavin Newsom and Robert Kennedy Jr. fo
