Trump sees small dip in odds; Democrats split on whether Clinton should run again; Sherrod Brown’s post election momentum continues; Julian Castro not wasting any timing in courting donors and staff

Donald Trump’s Odds dipped slightly this past week from 2.43X to 2.49X.  That is in line with his average over the last three months of 2.50X.  He remains more than three times as likely to get elected as his next closest competitor.

A former Hillary Clinton adviser wrote a WSJ op-ed that Clinton will run again in 2020.  That possibility seems to have split Democrats, as pleads for her not to run also sprung up. The mere possibility of another run did help her odds jump from 58.8X to 51.9X .  This moved her from 18th place to 15th.  This is the highest position she’s been in since late January.

We mentioned last week the big winner coming out of the election (aside from O’Rourke’s crazy jump in odds following his loss) appeared to be OH Senator Sherrod Brown.  His hot streak continued as his odds improved once again from 54.7X to 43.5X.  He is now in 13th place overall, and his betting odds are the highest they’ve been since September ’17.

Julian Castro is wasting no time in his preparations for a 2020 run, as he began courting both donors and staff. His odds jumped from 84.3X to 71.7X moving him from 30th place to 23rd, his highest since August.
