Who Is Beto O’Rourke?

Democrat IconBeto O’Rourke is a 46-year-old Democratic, formerly the U.S. Representative from Texas between 2013 and 2019. He officially announced his run for the 2020 Presidential Election on March 14, 2019. O’Rourke also spent time as a member of the El Paso City Council from the 8th district from June 2005 through June 2011. During that time, he was Mayor pro tempore of El Paso between June 2005 and June 2006. Before taking part in politics, O’Rourke spent time as a musician, among other jobs after graduating from Columbia.

Voter Base

Voter Base IconO’Rourke is a young, charismatic candidate with progressive views out of El Paso, Texas. His message of immigration reform and tightened gun control speak directly to his El Paso neighbors, drawing support from Latinx and liberal voters. O’Rourke also attracts other voter groups, as seen from the list below:

  • Young voters
  • Progressives
  • Minorities
  • Middle Class
  • Lower-Income Households
  • Latinx voters
  • Gun control activists

Odds For Beto O’Rourke To Win The 2024 Presidential Election

Odds IconAccording to most sportsbooks, O’Rourke is a bottom-tier Democratic candidate. As such, it is not likely that O’Rourke will be able to reach a showdown with President Biden for the 2024 election. Based on past outcomes, O’Rourke was not even able to beat Ted Cruz in the 2018 Texas Senate election. As Cruz could not defeat Trump and O’Rourke could not beat Cruz, logically speaking, O’Rourke could not beat Trump or Biden. O’Rourke’s weak odds reflect such an assumption.

Odds of Beto O’Rourke winning the Democratic Nomination

At this moment, Beto is outside the list of favorites for the Democratic nomination. While Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders top the party, O’Rourke is on par with hopefuls like Tulsi Gabbard and Cory Booker; candidates that are staying alive but are not expected to earn the nomination at the end of the day.

After the first debate, O’Rourke’s odds dropped a bit. However, the breakout of other viable candidates is the biggest reason for O’Rourke’s drop from the top. At the beginning of the year, Beto was a favorite in the party but his chances shifted after Biden’s campaign announcement and the rise of Warren and Kamala Harris.

What the current betting odds tell us about Beto O’Rourke’s chance of winning in 2020

The current odds imply a general viewpoint that Beto O’Rourke once had great chances for directly facing Trump in the 2020 election, but is now falling behind other Dem candidates who have stolen the show. However, O’Rourke still has time to reestablish his campaign and earn more support before a final nominee is selected. As O’Rourke continues to qualify for the Democratic debates, he is able to bring his message to a national stage and possibly sway voters that are still on the fence about his viewpoints.

Beto O’Rourke’s Chances Of Winning Based On Prediction Markets

O’Rourke was predicted to be a favorite in this election but is now consistently appearing in the bottom of political polls. On prediction markets, particularly at Predictwise, O’Rourke ranks in the party’s bottom tier. Currently, O’Rourke has a 1% chance of winning the Democratic nomination in 2020.

At his present 1%, O’Rourke is tied with other bottom candidates like Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar. From the pool of debate-qualifying Democrats, O’Rourke only sits ahead of Julian Castro’s 0% odds of winning the party nomination. It will be a tough road for Beto to reach Warren’s 48% chances, much less Biden’s 19% or Sanders’s 8%.
