If you think it’s a good idea or not, the U.S. presidential election season lasts a long time, with voters set to go to the polls on November 3, 2020, but with endless speculation about who will be the Democratic candidate already well under way. With the first debate schedule on June 26, we’re going to take a look at how the odds currently stand, as provided by BetOnline, for who will come out the victor of this 24-candidate horse race.

As I typically do with these odds articles, I’ll be giving my personal opinions of which candidates look like the better bets. These are purely my own opinion, and not of CalvinAyre.com.

What makes me qualified, as a Canadian man who’s never lived in America, to tell you who has the best chance to win? Well, I listen to the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast and I watch as much “Fake News,” MSNBC and CNN, as I possibly can. So I know a lot about the Democrats, you could say.

The leader of the pack right now is former Vice President Joe Biden (2/1). A recent poll by Echelon Insights has Biden beating every other candidate in the field, with a 20-point lead on Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. It also had Biden beating every top candidate one-on-one, widening his lead on Sanders to 36%.
