Trump Recovers Ground In 2024 Presidential Odds

US

Former President Donald Trump has regained ground in the 2024 presidential race, in the eyes of bookmakers.

  • Trump's star slumped in the aftermath of a poor performance at the US Midterm Elections and an underwhelming campaign launch to such an extent that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) took clear favourite status..
  • According to Smarkets, DeSantis remains the favourite to win in 2024 with an implied probability of 26%. President Biden is second favourite with an implied probability of 22%. Trump, however has closed the gap both with an implied probability of 14%.
  • Analyst will be watching over the coming weeks to determine what influence the ongoing controversy over Biden's improperly stored government documents will have on the 2024 race.
  • The prominence of the story may undermine the Democrat political case against Trump and the Department of Justice's legal case against Trump.
  • There is also the possiblity that the story may serve to highlight perceived negative qualities of both Trump and Biden and add impetus to a DeSantis campaign.
