Predictions in Politics: Examining the Future of the Trumps and Strategies for Wagering on Political Outcomes
In the political landscape of August 2025, there are ongoing discussions about the future of Donald Trump, the former President of the United States. The Georgia case, which involves Trump's publicized telephone call asking for votes to be found, is considered particularly threatening.
Despite some speculation, there is no known credible prediction or confirmed event of Trump announcing a congressional run in 2022. Similarly, no indictments of Trump in 2021 or 2022 are documented.
However, betting markets are active. Bettors can currently buy PredictIt shares that Trump will be on a GOP primary ballot for 2022 or any seat, with 'Yes' available at just 8 cents (equivalent to odds of 12.5). Trump is also a firm favorite to be the Republican Nominee, with odds of 4.0.
If Trump were to run for Congress, he could potentially be elected as Speaker of the House of Representatives, which would elevate him to third in line for the presidency. This possibility, along with the ongoing investigations, could have significant implications for the political landscape.
The decision for Trump to run in 2024 may depend on his performance in polls and the legal stress he is under. If he were to lose the presidential race but retain the House in 2024, he could potentially block the certification, as he did in 2020.
The Republicans are expected to continue placating Trump's ambitions, ensuring that betting opportunities persist. The party's chances of winning the House of Representatives at the mid-terms are currently around a 2 in 3 chance according to betting markets. If the Republicans win the House in 2022, they could potentially impeach President Biden, though spurious charges may be conjured up.
Trump's presence in Congress could potentially hurt mid-term chances for the Republicans and motivate Democrats, but few in the GOP are likely to stand up to him. His potential election as Speaker could also complicate the political landscape, as it would place him in a position of significant power.
In the 2024 presidential election, Trump is currently trading in third place with a best price of 9.4 on Betfair. The race is expected to be intense, with wide-ranging implications for the future of American politics.
