The White House Correspondents’ Dinner is an under-the-radar roast that needs to be more publicized across all media.
Dining, drinks and downright comedy are on tap for the election year's WHCD, but now there's even more fanfare with the ability to bet on what will transpire Saturday night.
Naturally, our friends at BetOnline created a host of odds for the inaugural event, which you can find below.
Everything from President Joe Biden's sunglasses and gaffes to Scarlett Johansson's dress can be wagered on in the form of prop bets.
And there is certainly plenty to be in a festive mood over.
News broke Thursday that a new poll conducted by the University of North Florida (UNF) found 47 percent of likely voters said they would vote for former President and presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump, while 45 percent said they will vote for Biden. About 4 percent said another candidate, 2 percent said they do not plan to vote, and 3 percent said they do not know or refused to answer.
While on the surface this poll might bode well for Trump, the findings suggest it could be a “very close race” in the Sunshine State come November. Florida, after all, was not supposed to be in play. Abortion and weed on the ballot may have changed that scenario somewhat.
Trump and the Republicans cannot afford to lose Florida, especially after Nikki Haley received nearly 20 percent of the GOP's closed primary vote in Pennsylvania Tuesday (only Republicans could cast their vote). The former South Carolina Governor has long been out of the race and her nearly 20 percent was being seen as a protest vote.
It's not all good news for Biden however. Six percent of respondents in the UNF poll who voted for Biden in 2020 said they will instead vote for Trump in 2024, while 4 percent said they will choose a different candidate, pollsters found.
Trump and Biden remained deadlocked at BetOnline with each having a price of -105 to win the November general election.
