Oddsmakers say Harris, not Biden, most likely to win 2024 nomination, election

 Oddsmakers give Vice President Harris better chances than President Biden to win the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination and general election, according to a Friday release from online betting site US-Bookies.

“Kamala Harris remains the favorite to win the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Her 7/2 odds (22.2% implied probability) put her just ahead of Joe Biden, who’s 9/2 (18.2%) to win re-election in 2024,” the release read.

The site gives Harris 7-to-4 odds of being the 2024 Democratic nominee, compared to 9-to-4 for Biden, who at 78 became the oldest person ever sworn into the office. 


Biden has said he plans to run again in 2024, and Harris has given no indication that she would challenge him.

"My plan is to run for reelection, that’s my expectation," the president told reporters last month.

Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley is oddsmakers' second favorite — behind former President Trump — for the 2024 Republican nomination. Trump and Haley rank third and fourth, respectively, for the best odds at winning the next presidential election, behind Harris and Biden.

Haley said earlier this week that she would not seek the GOP nomination if Trump does.

"I would not run if President Trump ran, and I would talk to him about it," the former South Carolina governor said Monday.

"Recent reports suggested Haley would not run in 2024 if Trump does, but bookies say she’d have the best shot at beating him," a US-Bookies spokesperson said in the release. “At 11/1 to win the 2024 election, she’s just behind Trump, who’s 11/2.”

Trump has neither confirmed nor denied a 2024 presidential bid.

Behind Trump and Haley, oddsmakers give the best chances for the GOP nomination to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, at 6-to-1, and former Vice President Mike Pence, 9-to-1.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This is arguably the most likely of th

Philosophical Question #14 – Lifestyle Choices

Image
Here is an interesting question in my list of philosophical questions: 1.) Should governments have penalties for those who live unhealthy lifestyles? A list of unhealthy lifestyles would include things like smoking, drinking, illegal drugs, prostitution, and other “vice” type activities. I guess the “government penalties” would be referring to monetary punishments, withholding medical treatments (insurance companies would love that), possibly imposing/regulating very high (exorbitant) prices on things considered unhealthy in order to cut down on their use, and other possibilities. 2.) Or, would you say that living an unhealthy lifestyle, likely resulting in a LOT of eventual personal pain and suffering, should be punishment enough for unhealthy lifestyles? When people make bad choices in life, often in their youth where ignorance and immediate gratification takes them over,  3.) Should a society be obligated to help "fix" them, by way of tax money?   Is that part of
