The Joe Biden campaign rallies workers, students, Black voters, Latinx voters, and Trump turncoats under a unified message: bring normality back into the White House and stability back into our democratic institutions

President Trump primarily markets to political and religious conservatives, non-educated white voters, and white women voters.

The odds for the 2020 Presidential Election see large amounts of action.

Here are a few that we are keeping our eyes on:

Popular Vote Winner
Democrats -650
Republicans +400

The polls and the odds both indicate a Democratic victory when it comes to the popular vote. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016, and we expect a repeat for Biden in 2020.

Voter Turnout in the U.S Presidential Election
Over 149.5 million voters -250
Under 149.5 million voters +175

Voter Turnout in the U.S. Presidential Election
Over 60.5 % -145
Under 60.5 % +115

Many Americans report the 2020 election as more important than previous ones. Additionally, the 2018 mid-term elections saw the highest voter turnout since 1914, indicating a similar record number on November 3rd.

Sources claim over 10 million Americans already voted via mail-in ballots, with a strong Democratic voting surge.

Will Trump lose every state he lost in 2016
Yes -290
No +230

The states that Donald Trump lost are widening their margins in favor of Biden, don’t expect Trump to flip any of those states.

Will Trump win every state he won in 2016
No -800
Yes +500

We can see shifts throughout many states that Trump won easily in 2016. For example, Pennsylvania gave Trump 20 electoral votes in 2016, but today Biden leads by over six percentage points.

Winner of the popular vote wins electoral college
Yes -225
No+185

It looks like the odds for a Democratic sweep are strong.

What some overlook, however, are the odds in the House and Senate.

House Seats Won by Democrats
Over 209.5 Seats -3300
Under 209.5 Seats +1400

Majority Control of the U.S. Senate
DEM Senators in 117th Congress -225
REP Senators in 117th Congress +160

U.S. Senate & House of Representatives
Any Other balance of Power -170
DEM Control House & REP Control Senate +140

The Democratic sweep does not stop at the executive branch. Both polls and odds predict large turnarounds for the Democratic Party in the legislature.

The balance of power is a trickier proposition. A full Democratic win across House and Senate only leads by a small margin.

Meanwhile, lines open and close on state-by-state Senate races.

Montana
S. Daines (R) -205 
S. Bullock (D) +170 

South Carolina
L. Graham (R) -315 
J. Harrison (D)+245

Arizona
M. McSally (R) +400 
M. Kelly (D) -550 

Keep an eye out for these odds because they appear and disappear daily.

As of Friday morning, September 28, 2018, odds heavily favored Brett Kavanaugh being confirmed as the next United States Supreme Court at Yes (-350) and No (+275), meaning a wager on “Yes” for $350 wins $100 and a wager on “No” for $100 wins $275.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to meet Friday at 9:30 a.m. and will vote on whether to recommend Kavanaugh’s nomination for a full Senate vote.

If the committee votes in favor of the nomination, the vote to confirm Kavanaugh as the next Supreme Court Justice will have to wait three days due to federal law, meaning a confirmation vote could take place as early as Monday, October 1.

On Thursday, the U.S. Senate began hearing testimonies from both sexual assault accuser Christine Blasey Ford and President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Before the hearing got underway this morning, Bovada oddsmakers had the odds of Kavanaugh being confirmation at Yes (-170) and No (+140), meaning he was favored to be confirmed.

After Christine Blasey Ford gave her testimony about the alleged sexual assault committed by Kavanaugh when they were in high school, the odds on him being confirmed to flipped to Yes (+120) and No (-150), favoring him not to be confirmed.

However, Kavanaugh was then allowed to defend himself, which was followed up by emotional outbursts led by South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, accusing Senate Democrats of “the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics.”

As the committee allowed Kavanaugh to speak and followed up with questions, the odds flipped again and back to him being favored to be confirmed. The odds remain in his favor as of Friday morning.

The odds have been volatile all week as more women have come forward accusing Kavanaugh of sexual assault and critics saying there were holes in Ford’s story.

On September 16, 2018, Ford publicly alleged Kavanaugh attempted to rape her in 1982 at a high school party and passed a polygraph test with a former FBI agent. Kavanaugh has refused to take a polygraph test despite having a favorable opinion of it being used in job interviews as judge in Sack v. Dept. of Defense (2016).

In addition to Ford, two more women have come forward alleging they were the victims Kavanaugh and his friends, while in high school, would get girls “inebriated and disoriented” so the girls could be “gang raped” by Kavanaugh and his friends.

One more woman claims to have witnessed Kavanaugh and others take advantage of inebriated women at parties.

Kavanaugh vehemently denies all sexual assault allegations from both Ford and the other accusers, claiming he is innocent of all charges.

It uncertain if senators on the committee will allow the confirmation vote to take place with many committee members being unsure to vote in favor of recommendation as of Friday morning going into the committee meeting.
