Trump’s Odds Steady Despite Tough Week; Oprah’s Odds Soar on Speculation; Kamala Harris Continues Hot Streak; John Delaney Moves out of Last Place

For the third straight week, Donald Trump’s odds remained flat at 3.45X.  This, despite what appeared to be a tough week that included NFL/Flag controversy, North Korea accusing US of declaring war , response to Puerto Rico crisis, a Repeal and Replace defeat, and Price controversy/resignation.  He continues to have higher odds than the next three opponents combined.

Oprah Winfrey was the biggest mover of the week after she made a debut as a special reporter on 60 minutes and after she thanked an author through Twitter who called her “Democrats’ best hope for 2020”. The speculation was enough to send her up from 28th place to 11th place.  Her payout decreased from 52.5X to just 28.6X.

Kamala Harris continued her hot streak as she reached another new high.  She remained in 4th place overall but her payout dropped from 17.8X to 17.6X.

John Delaney was the first candidate to officially throw his name in for 2020 a few months back. The MD Democrat has been working IA and NH hoping to get his name out there including this interview with CBS. His payout improved from 201X to 176X.  That’s enough to move him out of last place and switch positions with Jill Stein for 64th place.
