Handicapping the 2020 presidential election
The Las Vegas odds have been posted for the 2020 Presidential Election and they’re pretty interesting. I’m sure many if not most of you weren’t even aware that Vegas posts odds on elections but they have for some time. For the Presidential election that occurs every four years, they post their first set of odds in November, two full years before the election and then update them as the election grows closer. By every conceivable measure, the last election was an outlier because of Donald Trump’s election when he began his campaign with very low expectations of success. The upcoming election predicts him to be the favorite and this election shows a plethora of Democratic candidates instead of Republican candidates as they existed in 2016.
