With Donald Trump constitutionally barred from seeking a third term in four years, speculation is already rising over who will run to succeed him in 2028.
Vice President-elect JD Vance is currently the frontrunner to become the 48th president, with a 25% chance (+300 odds), according to SportsBettingDime.
As vice president, Vance will be next in line to assume office should Trump be unable or unwilling to continue serving. Since 1933, only five vice presidents have successfully been elected to serve as commander-in-chief, according to the New York Post.
Vance, 40, tops the odds list, followed by former first lady Michelle Obama (+500), California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom (+550), Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis (+800), former Democratic congresswoman-turned-Republican activist Tulsi Gabbard (+1000), and right-wing media personality Tucker Carlson (+1400), the outlet reported.
Vice President Kamala Harris (+2500) is tied with Oprah Winfrey and narrowly surpasses Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro (+3300), whom Harris declined to select as her running mate despite Democratic operatives believing he could have helped secure the Keystone State for Democrats.
