Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced his intentions to run for President in 2024, ending months of speculation on whether he would enter the race. Online political betting sites have posted 2024 Presidential Election odds that project who the winning candidate will be, and things aren’t looking good for DeSantis.
2024 US Presidential Election Odds
- Joe Biden +160
- Donald Trump Sr. +250
- Ron DeSantis +450
Current President Joe Biden leads the election odds, with Donald Trump trailing by 90 points in the moneyline. Governor DeSantis is in a distant third with a +450 moneyline that suggests he has an 18% likelihood of winning.
Once the future darling of the GOP, now it appears that DeSantis may need Trump to suffer a conviction in one of his many legal cases to become the top candidate in the Republican Party for 2024.
Republican Candidate
- Donald Trump -190
- Ron DeSantis +250
- Nikki Haley +3500
- Tim Scott +4000
- Tucker Carlson +5000
- Mike Pence +6000
The odds for betting on Presidential candidates favor Trump to become the Republican Party nominee, this time leading by 240 points. Last November, when Trump announced his 2024 candidacy, DeSantis was leading the odds across the board for the GOP nomination and the White House.
Here are the political betting odds that were posted at Bovada.LV the day Trump declared his candidacy.

What happened? Is the continued DeSantis vs. Disney debacle swaying voters and bettors to other options? Has his culture war turned constituents sour across the country?
The FL Governor rose to national prominence due to his early rollback of COVID-19 restrictions, a gamble that paid off well and earned him a landslide reelection victory in 2022.
One element to keep in mind is that Republican voters are currently split due to the inclusion of two popular candidates. Once the GOP Primaries have concluded and there’s only one politician left standing, Republican voters will likely galvanize and support the nominee.
At that time, the odds will likely draw much closer to even between the Democratic and GOP candidate. For evidence of this, check out this betting line that is taking action on the winning political party in 2024.

- Democratic -110
