Joe Biden Odds To Be President 2020:
The current front-runner to go up against Trump, Biden is facing a bit of heat over some inconsistent comments from the past in regards to the Hyde Amendment, which has to do with prohibiting national funds for abortion. Biden has taken stances in the past on things that progressive voters may not be a fan of as well as more information comes into the picture.
Bernie Sanders Odds To Be President 2020
Sanders will do well in states such as Vermont and Massachusetts, but it is important for him to bring that success to the neighboring New Hampshire. With a progressive mindset that, out of every candidate, probably differs from Trump’s ideology for running the country, Sanders could be a popular candidate once again in 2020.
Pete Buttigieg Odds To Be President 2020
Coming out of seemingly nowhere, the South Bend, Indiana Mayor appears to be picking up steam. Pete would become the first openly gay U.S. President in the history of the nation if elected in 2020.
Elizabeth Warren Odds To Be President 2020
With very little support in both Iowa and New Hampshire, it’s not looking good for Warren long-term, hence the drop-off in odds as time has gone on.
Who Is Really Going To Win The Presidency
All in all, with so much time between now and the 2020 election, expect these odds to be changing rapidly and constantly, day-by-day.
