Donald Trump's Chances of Serving Full Second Term,
According to Bookmakers
A leading bookmaker is offering odds of 2/5 (71.4
percent) on Donald Trump completing a full four-year
second presidential term in the White House.
The offer was made by William Hill, which primarily
attributed its degree of skepticism over Trump
completing his term to the 78-year-old president-
elect's "age and health."
Trump won the 2024 presidential election with 312
Electoral College votes against 226 for Democrat
Kamala Harris, according to the Associated Press, and
he's on track to win the popular vote for the first
time. His first term in office was unusually
tumultuous, with the Republican firebrand facing two
impeachment attempts in Congress.
Speaking to Newsweek, William Hill spokesperson Lee
Phelps said: "Trump has control of the Supreme Court,
Senate and House of Representatives � all with a
conservative majority � plus he has the world's
richest man to call on for support, so at 2/5, it
looks highly likely he will see out his full term
until January 2029.
During the presidential race, Trump refused to
release his full medical records, in contrast to
Harris. President Joe Biden had all but secured the
2024 Democratic presidential nomination, but the 81-
year-old dropped out of the running in July and
endorsed Harris, amid intense pressure from within
his own party due to concerns over his age and
health.
In his first term Trump faced two efforts to remove
him from office. In February 2020, the Senate voted
to acquit Trump on charges of abuse of power and
obstruction of Congress related to claims he put
pressure on the Ukrainian government to investigate
his domestic political opponents in return for
military aid.
Trump was also acquitted in the Senate of incitement
to insurrection in February 2021, after he had left
office, as less than two-thirds of Senators voted to
convict. This trial was in response to Trump's
efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election
result and the January 6, 2021, Capital Hill riot.
William Hill also offered odds of 1/7 (87.5 percent)
on former independent presidential candidate Robert
F. Kennedy Jr. receiving a government job, along with
1/10 (90.9 percent) for Florida Senator Marco Rubio
and 4/1 (20 percent) for Donald Trump
