CEIX - The 2020 U.S. Election: 'Keep It In The Ground' Is Now A Distinct Possibility
The Democratic primary for the 2020 U.S. presidential election officially commenced earlier this month with the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary. While the results of that first contest have been greatly muddied by a flawed reporting process that at least one front-running candidate deemed to be an "embarrassment" and a "disgrace", the betting markets have declared a clear winner: Senator (and self-declared democratic socialist) Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Mr. Sanders now has a clear lead in the race for the Democratic nomination, with the betting markets giving him a 44% probability of victory.
