    Announcement with some gravitas happening in GA Right now.... ?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,116 ✭✭✭Enquiring


    there's no way that can happen. she doesn't become VP until biden is sworn in.

    Oh right, what happens if Biden dies before being sworn in? Another election?

    She would be sworn in instead of him if he can't be.

    Some people are betting on Kamala Harris as next president, anyone know why?

    She was 1000 (999/1) up until today (on Betfair). I noticed she moved to 880 a short while ago. She's now down to 400.

    Edit: She's now down to 200

    Decent bed given Biden's age alone, tbh.

    she aint in the line of succession until biden is sworn in surely?

    Its not a line of succession thing. Its about who the EC delegates will cast their votes for. It would be Harris (and there would be court cases).

    People don't understand the exchanges. That's fine.

    That's fine? Oh wow that's fine guys, don't worry guys he's not mad at us for being so stupid.

    Hey smart guy why did you ask the ****ing question all if you're so smart yourself and just going to badmouth all the answers you get? You got more answers than anyone asking any other question here.

    Tosspot. You have no clue what you're talking about. And you're asking us about what happened to Biden as if we're going to have some inside information on something like what are you imagining here? A heart attack or something?

    It is true that betting markets aren't nearly so affected by betting patterns as some people think. But on betfair they completely depend on the betting patterns.

    With Fox calling Arizona for Biden, they will be forced to declare Biden President if he gets Georgia or Nevada.

    While CNN will still be waiting.

    Trump will go banannas then.

    That banana boat is already afloat

    this aint a jibe at biden BTW.

    is there a fit and proper persons test for president?

    just when you mentioned kanye, i remember news outlets saying he has bipolar or something so shouldn't be considered.

    There would be no court cases. The Constitution is very clear on what would happen thanks to the 20th Amendment - Section 3:

    Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.

    Yes. 20th Amendment Section 3:

    Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.


    And by the way there's been loads of unelected presidents.

    this hypothetical is before he is sworn in though.

    The odds on Harris are creeping back up.

    It took thousands to move the prices but it could be anything. Maybe somebody is in big on Biden and are just hedging their bets.



    For those who don't understand the betting exchange it's punters betting against one another, the exchange take a small cut. The presidential market is huge - over 500 million euro matched to date, including numerous million euro stakes.


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,313 ✭✭✭✭namloc1980

    Yes that's exactly what it covers:

    Section 3. If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President.

    i.e. if at 12 noon on the inauguration day he is dead, Harris gets sworn in. It's very clear.

    Looks like Biden will take it by about 5k votes - or something like that.

    novelty bets. they play around with the odds to get people to throw away their money. no doubt a few hundred people will throw money on her thinking joe is about to croak it. free money for bookies.

    Betting is a fool's game.
