Media reports bookmakers witness 20 percent opportunity of third Trump term
(MENAFN) Despite the constitutional two-term limit, betting markets see Donald Trump as a strong contender for the 2028 US presidential election, Newsweek reported on Saturday, citing data from British bookmaker William Hill.
According to the odds, Trump has a 16.7% chance (5/1) of winning another term, placing him among the top candidates. The leading favorite is Vice President J.D. Vance with 5/2 odds (28.6%), followed by Donald Trump Jr. (9/1, 10%), and Democratic governors Josh Shapiro (9/1) and Gavin Newsom (10/1).
Trump’s 2024 victory over Kamala Harris made him the second US president to serve two non-consecutive terms. However, the 22nd Amendment bars any individual from being elected more than twice.
Despite this, Trump has frequently joked about serving beyond two terms, and former White House strategist Steve Bannon recently claimed that Trump will run again in 2028. Bannon also suggested that his team is exploring ways to bypass the constitutional restriction.
A William Hill spokesperson acknowledged that repealing the 22nd Amendment would be difficult, but noted that Trump's strong support in Congress could make an attempt possible.
To change the Constitution, an amendment must receive approval from two-thirds of Congress and be ratified by three-fourths of US states.
