Another former Democratic candidate for president is seeking the mayor’s seat in New York City as Andrew Yang has rocketed to the front of the market to be named the successor to Bill DiBlasio. The unpopular mayor hasn’t handled recent events particularly well and it seems many New Yorkers are eager to see the back of him right now.

Yang has only resided in New York for about a year or two so many are questioning his commitment to the city but this hasn’t stopped him from emerging in pole position for the mayor’s seat. Right now, punters will find Andrew Yang available at a 4/9 price to be elected as mayor of New York. 

His primary competitor looks to be Eric Adams at a 5/1 price while Maya Wiley can be backed at a 27/2 listing. 

Meanwhile, in the market for the 2024 Presidency, you’ll find a few media figures making a big impression in the markets recently as word begins to buzz that they may launch a presidential bid of their own. Tucker Carlson of Fox News has been widely tipped to be launching a potential bid and he can be backed right now around a 39/1 margin which is down sharply from the 80/1 price he was trading at a few weeks ago. 

The Rock is another big candidate who has made some noise about a potential bid for the presidency. He has been active in both Republican and Democratic efforts over the years and enjoys a genuinely massive base of support from a wide swathe of the American public. 

As it currently stands, The Rock is priced anywhere from 20/1 to 50/1 to be elected the next US President.
