DESPITE ALL THE MEDIA ATTACKS: Trump at ‘all-time high’ in 2024 betting, swamps Biden.

via washingtonexaminer:

Gamblers are betting the farm that former President Donald Trump will enter the 2024 race and win.

The betting aggregator Smarkets told Secrets that the money backing Trump is the highest yet in the 2024 race.

“Donald Trump is increasingly likely to be elected president in 2024, after hitting an all-time high in the latest betting-market prices on the Smarkets exchange,” said the outfit, which is known for its interactive scorecard of candidates.

At this stage, Trump has a 26% chance of winning, a huge turnaround from just the 4% following the Jan. 6 Capitol riots over his 2020 loss to President Joe Biden.

You know how much prices at the supermarket have increased in the last six months. Double that, and there’s your estimation for food prices later this fall.”
