Donald Trump’s odds stayed flat to last week even as the controversial behind the scenes book Fire and Fury was released on Friday.  The payout continued to be at 3.28X and has now been between 3.25X and 3.30X for the last 11 weeks.

The hot name continued to be Kirsten Gillibrand. Speculation that the Senator is running has been increasing as she takes actions that would earn her favor with the left wing of the party. Her payout is now at 27.6X down from last week’s 33.8X.  That was enough to move her from 12th place to 10th place.  Her payout was at 45.8X and she was in 19th place 5 weeks ago before calling for the resignations of Senator Franken and President Trump due to sexual allegations.

Another name that has been improving the last few weeks is Gavin Newsom.  The current Lt. Governor of CA has a payout of 32.2X and moved up from 13th place to 12th place.  Five weeks ago he was at 50.8X and in 22nd place.  This week he took shots at Trump’s decision to open up offshore oil exploration.

Mitt Romney saw an improvement in odds this week as his payout decreased from 65.5X to 62.2X and he moved up from 36th place to 32nd place.  Orrin Hatch decided not to run for re-election in Utah opening up an opportunity for Romney to get back into politics in the Senate in 2018 and possibly challenge Trump in a primary in 2020.
