Trump Odds Improve on Back of 2020 Kickoff; Kamala Harris Jumps Warren for Second Place; Clinton and Clooney up

Despite a week of chaos at the White House, Donald Trump still took steps towards being reelected in 2020 including announcing a campaign manager and kicking off a fundraising campaign.  The odds reflected more the reelection steps and less the chaos as the payout moved from 3.02X to 2.87X.  These are his best odds in nearly a year (since end of March ’17).

Kamala Harris is the new #2 jumping over Elizabeth Warren. She has been consistently improving her standing for the last few months by positioning herself to be the progressive choice for the Democrats.  Her payout this week dropped from 13.1X to 12.8X and that was enough to get her to second place.  Last year at this time she was in 11th place with a payout of 31.8X.

Hillary Clinton saw a reversal in her recent downward trend as her payout decreased from 46.6X to 42.1X.  This was enough to move her from 22nd place to 16th place.  This is the highest she’s been in 6 weeks.

For the second straight week George Clooney’s odds improved, this time from 74.1X to 69.7X.  He appears to be the newest non-politician name for 2020.  This moved him from 41st place to 37th place.
