With the impeachment trial well underway, the betting odds on whether President Donald Trump will be removed from office or re-elected in 2020 are changing. His betting odds for being removed are even lower than they were a few days ago, and he is still at the top for betting odds on who will win 2020. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is now in second place for the 2020 win.
Here are the latest updates on predictions and betting odds, including updates from January 30, but they may change as the day progresses. Betting odds don’t necessarily translate to actual results, but they can provide insight into bettors’ current views on political situations.
PredictIt Shows a Spike & Then Drop in the Betting Odds of Trump Being Removed from Office
Betting odds spoked and then dropped that the Senate would actually convict Trump and remove him from office. A conviction requires 2/3 Senate majority, which would require 20 Republican Senators to vote for impeachment.
As of Thursday, January 30, the “yes” price was only 8 cents as of the time of publication.
PredictIt
That represents an 8 percent chance that he will be convicted and removed by the Senate. Pretty low at this point. In fact, this is a drop from the day before, which was 9 cents on January 29. Then for the two days prior to that, the price rose slightly to 11 cents for January 27 and January 28.
In fact, January 27 and 28 at 11 cents was the highest the betting odds have gotten for Trump being removed so far. Check out the graph for the last seven days.

Over the last 30 days, the odds are still overall lower, although not quite as low as the betting odds were back on January 10-12.

Meanwhile, OddsShark still lists Trump as the favorite for winning the election, even with impeachment trial ongoing. Bovada showed Trump’s re-election betting odds moving from +130 on November 21 to -105 on December 17, and now as of January 29 the odds are at -135 (or 57.45 percent).
Bernie Sanders now outranks Joe Biden for second place with +350 odds compared to Biden’s +550 odds.
