US Presidential Election Latest Betting Update PT 1
- By A.J. Ryder on May 11, 2016 19:21 GMTThings are definitely getting interesting over in America as the US presidential election continues to take interesting turns on a weekly, or even daily basis. With businessman Donald Trump unexpectedly locking up the Republican nomination after the withdrawal of both Ted Cruz and John Kasich last week, it appears as though Hillary Clinton's path to the White House - which once looked like absolutely smooth sailing - is getting even cloudier after a recent resurgence from up start Bernie Sanders.
Clinton's odds for the White House we're extremely short over the past year or so but they appear to be lengthening after Bernie Sanders has rattled off a steady stream of primary wins, despite his delegate margin looking increasingly difficult in terms of surpassing Hillary.
After Clinton storm to victory in New York, it appeared as though Bernie's days were numbered and he even began to lay off staff in a number of other states, however he has recently been able to pull off an undefeated string of Victories against Clinton - including yesterday's win in West Virginia - estate which Clinton carried in 2008 against Barack Obama by a very significant margin.
While the Clinton campaign continues to act as if Hillary has already been established as the de-facto nominee, they now find themselves battling on two fronts with Donald Trump now lacking opponents on the GOP side and turning all of his attention towards Clinton and her husband the former President Bill Clinton.
