The main reason President Biden is so long in the betting is purely down to his age. With the GOP essentially still believing “The Big Lie” that Biden fixed the election and the Democrats somehow “used Covid” to rig the vote, it seems certain, barring illness, that Trump will run again and will be a serious contender given the 2 party state system of US Politics. He’ll be 78 by then but still 4 years younger than Biden. Neither Trump or Biden has officially announced a run in 2024 but it seems unlikely that Trump wouldn’t run given his ego. Trump has retained a huge popularity within the Republican Party and fanbase, and is the heavy favourite for the Republican nomination which would essentially put him in a two-horse race for the White House. Surely he couldn’t be back in a position to take back the mantle of the world's most powerful man? Well, frankly, yes he could.
The 45th President of the USA was voted out of office only 10 months ago after two impeachments, federal investigations and allegedly inciting the capitol riots. The Donald has slowly dropped in price from his high of 20/1 not long after President Biden took office and is now favourite in the market at a best price of 7/2 to retake the Oval Office in 2024. With 3 years to go until the 2024 US Presidential Election revisits the political landscape, asks why former President Trump is leading the betting and investigates who are the other likely contenders.
