Iowa Democratic Odds Presidential

While there might have been no clear winner in this week’s Iowa caucus, the Hawkeye State shook up the Democratic presidential race.

For much of the race, even Democratic voters who have embraced her ideas and political persona have harbored reservations about her odds against Mr. In Iowa, that appears to have changed. Biden entered Iowa with the second-shortest odds at +200 while Buttigieg was fifth at +2400. 2020 New Hampshire Democratic Primary Odds Sanders and Buttigieg are clearly the hot names for now, but it’s way too early to count Biden or Warren out. In 2016, Trump won Iowa by 9 points. 3 of the 4 congressional districts in the state voted for Democrats in the 2018 midterms. Both its Senate seats have gone to Republicans in the latest elections.

A top analyst of booking trends and betting lines told Florida Daily that the odds have changed in the wake of the Iowa caucuses disaster and expects more big changes between now and November.

“I expect a ton of fluctuation because that’s what political odds do. They always swing pretty drastically to whoever has done the best thing lately,” Sasha Paruk, the lead oddsmaker for Sports Betting Dime, told Florida Daily.

Parak said the results–or lack thereof–in Iowa did not clear things up at all–but insisted there was a clear loser in Iowa.

“The way that Iowa is playing out is basically a worst-case scenario for Joe Biden. It’s not just that he lost, it’s that he is continuing to lose for days and days and days at a time. If this had just been a normal caucus procedure where you get the results the day of and Biden had finished a distant fourth, that would be bad for him no doubt. With New Hampshire…only seven days after Iowa, it would be very easy to change the narrative and say we are moving to an area where Biden is expected to better,” he said.

Despite the close finish, Iowa provided a boost for former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg. While Paruk still calls Buttigieg a longshot to win the overall nomination, the momentum he gained will likely draw betting action. At Sports Betting’s website, Buttigieg comes in at +600, having the fourth-best chance to win the nomination. At the front of the pack is U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., at +175. “He’s seen as sort of the most electable candidate after Biden,” Paruk said about Sanders.

The Democrats though are not the odds on favorite to win the presidency. That honor belongs to President Donald Trump. According to the oddsmakers, the past week–from Trump getting acquitted by the U.S. Senate to Iowa–has not been good for the Democrats.

“As good as Iowa has been for Buttigieg and for Sanders, on the whole for the Democrats, it’s been terrible. The odds of Trump winning reelection have only gotten shorter over the past 48 hours against the Democrats,” Paruk said.

Paruk said anytime Trump is involved in political wagers, the action in that bets goes up.

“I don’t know what it is about the American psyche that is so drawn to him, but we are a sports betting analysis site, and every story that we publish with Trump in the title does better than the ones that don’t,” Paruk said, adding he believes in today’s culture people crave drama–and Trump provides it.

According to Sports Betting, Trump is currently -145 to win reelection, meaning you would have to wager 145 dollars to win 100.

Just as I did with the 2024 Republican Odds (which you can findhere), I am going to tackle the 2024 Democrat Odds that were recently released and give me thoughts on some of the long shots, the middle of the pack and the favorites.

Joe Biden would be 81-years-old in 2024, would he run again? I don’t think so, and would Kamala would be in line to be his successor, but will that mean she will become the Democratic nominee? I am not sold quite yet.

Long Shot

Iowa Democratic Odds By Age

Michael Bloomberg (+2000) made some noise early on as he threw over $500 million at the election to try to become the Democratic Nominee. We also saw him throw hundreds of millions more in support of the Democrats/Biden to help push President Trump out of office. Bloomberg would be 82-years-old come 2024, I don’t think he is a player, but I believe he can impact who he buys into this election.

Pete Buttigieg (+1500) intrigues me at this price. Nobody expected him to run as well as he did, and he won the Iowa Presidential Caucuses this year, and he is a younger face that could be the face of Democrats for years to come. Pete aligns with a lot of what the newer generation is seeking in a Democratic Candidate. I do think he would be a good VP if he is unable to snag the Presidential Nominee.

Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are both +1200 but they will be 84 and 75 respectively around the time primaries start to kick in. I am not sure either of which will run but again like Bloomberg, they can push a candidate with their backing to the next level.

Wild Card

Andrew Yang +800, while the business leader made a splash upon the trails in 2020, he does lack the political aspect of the other fellow candidates within not holding any office yet. I expect him to give this another go, and Yang has some pull within him because of the simple fact that he has helped the party (while criticizing) within this election with Joe Biden and moving down to Georgia to help with the run-offs. I like Yang a lot, but I am not sure he will ever get the backing from the Democratic party to get the bid.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (+600) is an interesting name, and as you see in her odds. She is a very vocal leader in this new wave and next-generation, and she is afraid of any challenges placed in front of her. I would be intrigued to see if she would be willing to run in 2024 and challenge Kamala, but if she gets the right momentum and as my friend Shane pointed out, she could be that new with Bernie out of the fold leader, especially if she gets his backing.

Front Runner

Kamala Harris has the best odds at +300 among the entire listing and not much of a surprise with Biden saying he feels more like a transition candidate and with her now being Vice-President Elect. She is set to be the first Woman-POC to hold as high as office as she is, which would set the tone for her campaign. Harris would have four years of being inside the White House under her belt, and how Biden and her handle the Pandemic, Economy, and Social Injustice over the next four years will be telling within whether or not she is going to be that ahead of the pact.

Iowa Democratic Odds 2019

I have been on record stating I have issues with Kamala, and I don’t think she is a viable candidate for the seat as she wouldn’t be my choice, but it’s not up to me. If she has a strong four years with Biden in office, do the Democrats throw their weight behind her and try to win the election? But my biggest question is, ‘Can she win?’ and I am not sure she can.

Right now, she is in the driver seat to represent the Democrats in the 2024 election, who do you think is? Who would you like to see in the slot in 2024?
