First 2020 Democratic Debate Prop Bets Now Available
The first 2020 Democratic primary debate is goin’ down in a couple of days, and oddsmakers have posted prop bets on who will put up, shut up, and tweet out (you know who I’m talking about) over both nights.
It’s no surprise that President Donald Trump will be a focus during the debate, but just “how much” of a talking point he ultimately becomes is only one of the ways you can place a wager during the two-night event.

Who will win the 2020 election?
Trump remains the favorite in the latest 2020 presidential election odds and currently has a 50% chance to win reelection next year. Former Vice President Joe Biden is seen as his most likely challenger with a 19.05% implied probability to win it all.
It’s important to remember that Trump is the incumbent, and the RNC has already stated it will not host primary debates for potential Republican challengers, making his path to the White House the one of least resistance.
The public money bet so far indicates that the Democratic Party (-120) is the current favorite over the Republican Party (-110), but with a margin that slim — and the general election still 498 days away — it’s safe to say it’s either party’s office at this point in the race.
Here are the current 2020 odds from Bovada as we officially head into the primary debate season later this week.

- Democratic Party -120
- Republican Party -110
Candidates
- Donald Trump +100 (EVEN)
