Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy tied for second place in PredictIt’s 2024 Republican primary market


As of July 31, 2023, former President Donald Trump (R) leads in both RealClearPolitics’ (RCP) Republican presidential primary polling average and PredictIt’s Republican presidential primary market.

Trump’s polling average stands at 54%, followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) at 18%. No other candidate has more than a 10% polling average. In PredictIt’s Republican primary market, Trump’s share price is $0.57, DeSantis’ and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy’s share prices are both at $0.15, and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott’s (R-S.C.) share price is at $0.11. No other candidate has a share price at or above $0.10. 

A candidate’s polling average reflects an estimate of the vote share a candidate would receive if the election took place today. A PredictIt share price roughly corresponds to the market’s estimate of a candidate’s probability of winning the election.

President Joe Biden (D) leads both RCP’s Democratic primary polling average and PredictIt’s Democratic primary market. Biden has a 35% polling average, with no other candidates polling at or above 10%, and a $0.67 PredictIt share price. One other candidate has a share price at or above $0.10. California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) stands at $0.21.

Newsom is the only candidate of those mentioned above to have not announced a 2024 presidential campaign.
