Latest American Politics Betting Update PT 2

Puerto Rico and Washington DC are considered to be candidates to become official US states and receive the distribution of two senators apiece - something that would swing the senate and house towards the Democratic party. A lot of noise is being made about this and you can assume that it will be pushed closer to the midterm elections next year.

The betting exchanges don’t favour either territory to get statehood with a 1/12 price on the “no” option and a listing around 35/4 on the “yes” option. 

The UK is heavily-favoured to be the destination of Joe Biden’s first official visit and that’s trading at a slim 2/13 price tag but that may be complicated by some current affairs. It’s worth noting that Germany are a 9/1 price while China can be backed at a 97/1 price tag. 

During his press conference, Joe Biden mentioned that he missed having Donald Trump around - it obviously made his job a little easier and lowered the bar of expectations and Trump has been doing a round of media interviews in preparation of a campaign to promote his book. Trump has also been making noise about starting his own party or getting back involved with Republcian politics. You’ll find him trading at 19/2 to start a new party. 

In regards to the presidential election in 2024, Kamala Harris is trading as the slim favourite with a 3/1 margin available from most major bookmakers with a few going as high as 7/2. Joe Biden is floated around a 5/1 listing and Donald Trump trades anywhere from 11/2 up to 7/1. 

Nikki Haley is an interesting outside option here and would likely secure the Republican nomination if she ran - and would match up well against Kamala Harris if she was running for the top slot. Haley can be backed at a 20/1 price tag right now with several top bookmakers.
