JD Vance Odds Surging, Next California Governor Odds Up Too

Regarding that 2028 Presidential Election, J.D. Vance’s odds continue to improve, and he’s now the odds-on favorite to be the Republican nominee.

“The big reason for changes on the GOP side is the growing negativity around Trump, with health problems gaining media traction along with the Epstein saga,” Political oddsmaker Paul Krishnamurty said. “Trump has drifted badly across all our 2028 targets, and his odds of failing to complete this term have hit an all-time low. We have also seen substantial bets for Trump to be the next world leader to exit post. He now tied for fifth on that list with 10/1 odds, holding the same chances as Emmanuel Macron – whose term expires in June 2027.”

BetOnline reports that on the Democrat side, the book is seeing plenty of action on Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
