DeSantis' odds to win the presidency had gotten as high as +1000 during the fall, but his campaign has spiraled since reaching those heights. Entering last week's Republican Iowa caucuses, DeSantis' odds to win the presidency were a longshot +7500, and they got even longer despite his second-place showing in Iowa.
Before the news on Sunday, DeSantis' odds to win the presidency were +17000, implying 0.55% chance he would win the White House. After the news, DeSantis' presidential election odds are down to +26000, even though his campaign is over. Often, candidates who have suspended their campaigns will remain on the board at even longer odds, as is the case with Vivek Ramaswamy at +18000, for example.
“It’s clear to me that a majority of Republican primary voters want to give Donald Trump another chance,” DeSantis said in his video posted on X. New Hampshire’s primary comes Tuesday, January 23.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
