Assuming he wins with Florida bookmakers’ short odds as Mar-a-Lago gets raided, DeathSantis will kill Democracy in 2024 because Hunter Biden appears to be a greater danger than Trump. We are truly in the silly season with predictive measures. Trump is pleading the Fifth in his New York deposition, claiming absurdly that the raid on Mar-a-Lago influenced his decision. The better bet is some Florida Man threatening violence.

Research comes from @AdvDemocracy whose founder @DanielJJonesUS said: “In addition to the antisemitic & violent slurs, we’re seeing his address and other personal information being shared online—with the implied or explicit purpose of ‘real-life’ action” https://t.co/LohbCCRjcA

A federal investigation of Hunter Biden is being overseen by a US Attorney appointed by Trump. We have no idea if Hunter Biden is being treated with kid gloves or not as the investigation is still active. https://t.co/lccrlCiyWa

It's notable that it's increasingly DeSantis, not Trump, who far-right candidates feel will give them the biggest impact among rank-and-file MAGA voters. https://t.co/CTqmxOlrbo

The current Governor of Florida has seen his odds to be the Next President shorten the last few months, which put him just behind former President Trump and ahead of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in terms of betting favorites.

Oddsmakers did briefly shorten their Ron DeSantis President 2024 odds enough to push Governor DeSantis into the favorite spot for a few days at the end of June and beginning of July but currently Donald Trump odds are 3 to 1 (+300) to win in 2024, which carries an implied probability of 25% and places the former President as the betting favorite.

[...]

Ladbrokes Sportsbook offers a unique betting market for Ron DeSantis specifically, which implies Governor DeSantis has a 33.3% chance to be President by 2033. That means the former Congressman and current Governor would have to run for the White House and win in either 2024, 2028 or 2032.

Worth noting, DeSantis is currently running for re-election as Florida Governor against Democrat Nikki Fried. Should he secure a second term in November, many think DeSantis will skip the 2024 race and a showdown with Trump, eventually setting him up to run in either 2028 or 2032.
