President Trump, Vice President Pence and former U.S. Ambassador the United Nations Nikki Haley are seen as the three most likely GOP figures to the win a Republican primary in 2024, according to odds on the betting site Bovada.
Trump and Pence are tied with 4 to 1 odds of securing the GOP’s 2024 presidential nomination, while Haley trails shortly behind with odds of 5 in 1 that she’ll be the nominee.
Other prominent Republicans seen as having decent chances of leading the party’s next ticket include two of Trump’s 2016 rivals, former Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz (Texas), as well as other current members of the Senate Republican Conference such as Sens. Josh Hawley (Mo.) and Tim Scott (S.C.). Donald Trump Jr., Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and the president’s attorney Rudy Giuliani were all tied with 25 to 1 odds of winning the nomination.
Coral, a U.K.-based betting site, gave Trump the edge with 8 to 1 odds of winning the presidency a second time, while Pence was given odds of 16 to 1 of ascending to the presidency and Haley faced 12 to 1 odds. President-elect Joe Biden (D) was seen as having 7 to 2 odds of winning a second term, while his running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) was given 4 to 1 odds of winning the presidency.
Harris was also seen as more likely to run as the Democrats’ 2024 nominee than was Biden, which gave her 3 to 1 odds of clinching the 2024 Democratic nomination over the 5 to 1 odds given to Biden on Bovada. Close behind, with 6 to 1 odds, was Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.), whose profile among the Democratic Party has continued to rise with her reelection win last week.
In an interview with ABC News earlier this year, Biden, who will be 78 when he takes office, indicated that he would leave the possibility open of running for reelection should he win the presidency.
