House Speaker Showdown: The Betting Odds Are In

robot
Abstract generation in progress

Kevin McCarthy just got voted out as Speaker of the House—a first in U.S. history. The vote? 216-210, with 8 Republicans breaking ranks.

Now the question everyone’s asking: Who’s next?

Patrick McHenry is interim speaker for now, but the real race is on. Here’s where the betting markets stand (via Betonline.ag):

Top Contenders:

  • Steve Scalise: -120 (odds-on favorite)
  • Kevin Hern: +700
  • Mike Johnson: +700
  • Elise Stefanik: +900
  • Tom Emmer: +1000
  • Donald Trump: +1000

Dark Horses:

  • Jim Jordan: +1200
  • Hakeem Jeffries: +3300 (the only Dem on the board)
  • Marjorie Taylor Greene: +6600
  • Matt Gaetz: +6600
  • Lauren Boebert: +20000

Scalise’s at -120 means a $100 bet nets you $83 profit if he wins. But this is still early—the election could flip the script any time.

Worth noting: The Speaker doesn’t have to be from the House or the majority party. Trump got votes back in January, and theoretically could again.

McCarthy himself was listed at +600 before announcing he wouldn’t run. Now? Off the board entirely.
