Donald Trump’s odds of winning 2024 election skyrocket after shooting at Pennsylvania rally

The chances of Donald Trump winning the November presidential election soared after the horrific assassination attempt.

The 78-year-old former president survived the attempt on his life when the bullet narrowly missed him during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

A bloodied Trump clenched his fist after being shot in the ear, creating a dramatic image of the convicted criminal that greatly increased his chances of winning the election.

Shortly after the attack, his odds rose to 66 cents on the dollar and stayed there, while Biden’s odds fell to 22 cents.

“As far as I can remember, Reagan was up 22 points in the polls after his assassination attempt. The election is likely to be a landslide. That probably reduces uncertainty,” said Nick Ferres, chief investment officer at Vantage Point Asset Management Reuters.

The 78-year-old was dragged off stage by the Secret Service with his face covered in blood, then clenched his fist and shouted “fight, fight, fight” as gunshots rang out in front of thousands of MAGA fans.

The gunman and a crowd member were killed and two others were taken to hospital in critical condition after the shooting.

The suspect fired at least eight shots from the roof, and his body and an AR-style rifle were later found.

Trump confirmed in a statement from the hospital that he had been hit, hours after the terrifying scene unfolded.

Images of a rebellious Trump have united Republican Party supporters and led to major endorsements from Elon Musk and Bill Ackman.

“I fully support President Trump and hope for his speedy recovery,” Musk said on X.

“The last time America had such a strong candidate was Theodore Roosevelt.”

On PredictIt, an online prediction market in New Zealand, Biden’s odds of winning are around 20 cents on the dollar, while Trump’s are around 66 cents.

“I’m going to formally endorse Donald Trump,” Ackman said. “I assure you that I made this decision carefully, rationally, and based on as much empirical data as possible.”

“I believe that the upcoming presidential election will be one of the most important elections in my lifetime.”

Dave Portnoy claimed that the ‘tough guy’ Donald Trump would effortlessly win this year’s presidential election after surviving an assassination attempt.

The Barstool Sports executive posted on X: “Just landed and missed an attempted appointment. Holy shit. What a bad response from Trump. The election is over. He’s the next president. The Dems need to give up. They can’t beat him now.

“Can we also stop the hate on both sides? This country is tearing itself apart. Let the voters decide. Voting for one side or the other doesn’t make you Satan.”

Portnoy also posted a photo of Trump on his feet with his fist in the air moments after the shooting. He wrote, “The election is over.”
