Though President-elect Donald Trump still has more than a week before he takes over the most powerful office in the United States, bettors are already trying to predict his political survival.
British bookmaker Ladbrokes Coral Group plc. put the odds of Trump of being impeached or resigning before the end of his first term at dead even (11/10). But as consolation for Trump, Ladbrokes see him being inaugurated on January 20 with 6/1 odds.
Irish bookmaker PaddyPower, on the other hand, placed a 12/1 odds that Trump will not be inaugurated next week.
What’s bolstering bettors’ belief that the pugnacious Trump will buck the historical rarity of US impeachments and suffer the fate former presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton?
