Barnes Betting Report: Politics, April 2023

RFK trades at between 2% and 3% to win the Democratic nomination on most betting markets, with Biden around 55%. DeSantis currently trades at 20% to 25% to win the Republican nomination, with Trump now around 60%. Trump trades around 30% to win the general election in 2024, and Biden around 40%. DeSantis now dropped to mid-teens around 15% to win the general election, while Robert Kennedy trades around 1% for the general election.
