Joe Biden’s odds of securing reelection fell from 20 percent to 11.1 percent after the president made several high-profile gaffes on Thursday.
The odds of Joe Biden winning the 2024 presidential election in November collapsed from 4/1 (20 percent) on Thursday morning to 8/1 (11.1 percent) on Friday, following a series of gaffes from the president during media events, according to U.K.-based bookmaker Betfair.
Biden mistakenly called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky « President Putin » and described Vice President Kamala Harris as « Vice President Trump » at two separate events on Thursday during the NATO summit in Washington, D.C.
Concern about the age and mental agility of 81-year-old Biden surged following his first presidential debate against Donald Trump on June 27, in which the Democratic incumbent at several points appeared to lose his train of thought mid-sentence.
In response, several prominent Democrats have called for Biden to step down, including members of Congress and actor and Democratic fundraiser George Clooney, who wrote a piece for The New York Times titled « I Love Joe Biden.
