Donald Trump improved his odds from 2.73X to 2.68X.  These are his best odds in 15 months.   One would expect a natural drift of the odds closer to 2.0X by the summer of 2020 as the number of days for any political catastrophe or potential Republican challenger shrink.

The biggest move up this week was Howard Schultz. The former leader of Starbucks stepped down this week and it was followed by immediate speculation of a 2020 run. His odds jumped from 59.0X to 47.4X.  These are his highest odds this cycle and push him up from 27th place to 16th place.

Kirsten Gillibrand continues to slowly drift up.  She was up this week from 24.2X to 23.4X, her highest in 9 weeks.  She remains in 7th place.  Gillibrand has been helping fellow Democrats raise money, which could payoff during a 2020 run.

Gavin Newsom won a spot in the primaries to run for CA Governor this week where he will be heavily favored.  There’s plenty of speculation about the current CA LT Governor’s potential as a Presidential candidate, although 2020 may not be the right year for him. His odds dropped from 42.5X to 47.8X, dropping him from 12th place to 17th place.
