retrospective
The story: On Tuesday, September 24, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives would be opening an impeachment inquiry into Trump, in large part to a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Change in the betting pattern
There was a change in the betting pattern around the inquiry announcement, with some bettors backing Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Joseph Biden, and others backing Trump to be impeached. The betting odds (by UK bookmakers) surrounding Warren and Biden to win the 2020 US Election next November soared, as did the odds for impeachment, which skyrocketed up to a 65 percent chance.
Warren and Biden chances actually dropped by 25 percent
But that had changed. The majority of the bets coming in by the weekend were back on Trump to win a second term, while the odds (chances) on Warren and Biden dropped by 25 percent. Oct. 13 chances to win election – 28%, October 29 – 21%.
So despite all the noise about a possible impeachment of President Trump, the betting markets are showing that there are no real signs that this will happen. This correlates to the recent polls showing that Americans are split, 49%-46%, on whether they approve of Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Here are some of the 2020 US Election odds and highest bets*:
- Highest bet on Trump to win election: $5,820 at odds of 2.34

Trump has used the inquiry announcement to raise more money this week for his ever growing election war chest, which is something that will continue to move the odds in his favor over the next year. While the Democrats fight it out to see which one of them will head the ticket next fall, Trump can continue to raise funds for what is expected to be another tough campaign battle.
