What Do The Odds Say? PredictIt.org, a website that allows users to bet and make predictions on political outcomes, currently has Newsom and DeSantis as the third and fourth favorites to win the 2024 presidential election respectively, despite the fact that Newsom has repeatedly stated that he is not running for president in 2024.
