How Long Will Joe Biden Last?
Joe Biden due to his age (78) was always going to be questioned about his ability to carry out the role as US President fully.
He is the oldest President by a long shot, and this is starting to be prominent in every article published.
Number | President | Age When Taking Office |
---|---|---|
46th | Joe Biden | 78 |
45th | Donald Trump | 70 |
40th | Ronald Reagan | 60 |
9th | William Henry Harrison | 68 |
15th | James Buchanan | 65 |
In the 2020 US Election, the Republicans had a strategy to highlight his advancing years, and the Sleepy Joe moniker took hold with the media.
Exit dates are becoming the go-to markets for political betting such is the wall-to-wall media coverage of every gaffe.

Biden Exit Date | Betting Odds |
---|---|
2025 or later | 1.25 |
2024 | 2.50 |
It is also unclear whether Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee in the 2024 US Election, many feel that his much younger VP Kamala Harris will be the Democratic choice.
The party may also feel that an 82-year-old will be a hard sell to new voters and the younger population in general.
How To Bet On The Next US President
The first thing you need to do to be able to bet on who will become the next President of the United States is find a Bookmaker that offers a market. I have created another article for the Best Political betting Sites that will point you in the right direction if your current sports betting app does not offer it.

Other Betting Options
There are a whole host of other potential betting markets around US politics - As mentioned, Smarkets have some 41 individual markets at the time of writing. Here are some other options for the Presidency you might consider.
Which Party Will Win The White House in 2024?
In the winning party betting market, the Republicans are the favourites but as you can see the odds are close.
Who Will Win the 2024 Presidential Popular Vote?
Popular vote betting is the total amount of votes cast for each candidate.
In 2016, we saw that Hilary Clinton received nearly 3 million more votes despite losing the presidential race than Donald Trump.
In 2020, Joe Biden won the popular vote by 7 million when securing the White House.
2020 US Election Results Map
For some insight into how the states voted in 2024, we have a map that highlights how each voted. Something you may want to consider if betting on individual states' election results.
Presidential Elections by Each State
I looked back to the last US Presidential Election to see if we could get a handle on which states may offer betting opportunities.
The closest races in 2020 were as follows:
State | Winner | Percentage Win |
---|---|---|
Georgia | Biden | 0.23% |
Arizona | Biden | 0.31% |
Wisconsin | Biden | 0.63% |
Pennsylvania | Biden | 1.16% |
North Carolina | Trump | 1.35% |
Nevada | Biden | 2.39% |
Michigan | Biden | 2.78% |
Florida | Trump | 3.40% |
The figures below are the number of times that particular state has returned that party in the last 6 elections since 2000.
A 6-0 scoreline, either way, does not mean that the state cannot turn, but it is less likely.
State | Democrat | Republican |
