Ron DeSantis Odds Worsened From +400 to +500 After Announced Run

A semi-scientific Twitter study conducted over the last month shows that the U.S. remains lopsided when it comes to supporting a GOP candidate for the 2024 Election. We also have all the latest odds below.                          

Entertainment and gaming website, BetOnline.ag, collected and analyzed every #Trump2024 hashtag and #DeSantis2024 hashtag from April 25 through May 24, the day of Ron DeSantis' bid announcement on Twitter.

Those results were run through a geo-tracking program that showed which states each supporting post came from. The candidate with the most hashtags then "won" that state.

In total, there were nearly 150,000 tweets included in the study.

The results showed the massive support chasm between DeSantis and Donald Trump.

The breakdown is as follows:

DeSantis - 7 states (Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, Utah)

Trump - 43 states (All other states)

BetOnline also reports that DeSantis took a hit in their projections following last Wednesday night's Twitter tech debacle.

In short, DeSantis' odds worsened while Biden's, Trump's and all the other GOP frontrunners' odds improved. Here are the notable odds changes:
