Trump's 2028 Odds Shorten…but so Did Obama's
The oddsmakers adjusted their numbers after hearing Sunday's news that President Donald Trump is "not joking" about running for a third term.
Trump told NBC News that "there are methods" for a path to being the Republican nominee in 2028, which adjacently would also open paths for Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to run again.
At BetOnline.ag, Trump's 2028 Presidential chances improved following the report, going from 10/1 to 6/1. In turn, JD Vance's odds worsened, moving from 5/2 to 3/1.
President Obama's odds improved from 75/1 to 40/1, while his wife's odds worsened from 22/1 to 25/1.
