Trump Impeachment Odds Hit Record 69% on Betting Platform
Online prediction markets indicate a record-high 69 percent chance of President Donald Trump facing impeachment before his term ends, with similar high odds on other platforms. Despite Trump’s own public comments and past impeachments, these markets are not infallible predictors of future events, as demonstrated by past inaccuracies and the ongoing scrutiny regarding potential insider trading. Legislation is being proposed to ban prediction markets from wagering on government actions, and one platform has already faced criminal charges in Arizona.
