Ron DeSantis continues to look like a long shot in presidential betting markets, hitting a new low in gamblers’ estimations of the 2024 landscape.
According to the Election Betting Odds website, which uses odds from Betfair, Smarkets, PredictIt and Polymarket, the Governor is now in sixth place, with a 4.8% chance of victory.
DeSantis is staring up at non-candidate Gavin Newsom, who has a 5% chance of victory. The Governors of Florida and California are expected to debate this fall on Fox News in an event hosted by Sean Hannity.
The Florida Governor also lags behind entrepreneur Vivek G. Ramaswamy, whose pitch to potential donors includes an assurance he is “on track to eclipse” DeSantis. Ramaswamy is given a 5.3% chance of victory by bettors across these markets.
Also ahead of DeSantis is Robert Kennedy, Jr. The Governor recently walked back a suggestion that the iconoclastic vax-skeptic Democrat could play a meaningful leadership role at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the Food and Drug Administration, saying that what he meant was that Kennedy could be part of a bipartisan “task force” to spur reforms. Kennedy, given a 5.5% chance of winning, is seen as more likely to be President than DeSantis however.
Unsurprisingly, the odds-on favorites are the most recent former President and the incumbent in the White House. Joe Biden leads all names, with a 35.5% chance of victory. Donald Trump is given a 28.5% chance of winning.
DeSantis is currently in third place in the race for the Republican nomination, with Ramaswamy at 9.6% and the Governor at 9.5%. Trump is at 70.3%, meanwhile.

He’s in a free-fall now.
My local 7-11 has less staff turnover than his campaign.

In a ploy for public sympathy, she’ll donate her eyebrows to Locks of Love.

The Rhonda Campaign staff turnover, being similar to Former President Trump’s cabinet and staff turnover must be intended to impress people.
Rhonda’s strategy is “I find it interesting that Trump did it, you know, the turnover, so I will do the turnover too and then like the Maggas will like me.”

I don’t think Ramaswamy is an Art. II, §1, cl. 5 natural-born citizen, at least in a Trumpian sense.

Birther nonsense? Yeah, that’ll derail the topic.
Topic being “how big a loser Ron DeSantis is, and now everybody’s finding out.”
Did everybody hear? Ron DeSantis is praying for others to get out of the GOP primary so Ron will have fewer places to fall through, meaning fewer headlines on his way to dead last.
“Last Place Ron” is title he’s working very hard to earn.

He has been attempting to make himself look good by attempting to make Trump look bad. Doesn’t work DeSantis, you are shooting yourself in the foot. TRUMP 2024! MAGA!

Will he hang on until the last dollar?
Or see the light, withdraw, and delude for 2028?
