(ShareCast News) - The odds that Donald Trump will winning a second term as Presidential of the USA have been cut by bookmakers in London on Thursday.
While slashing the President's odds for securing a second term in office at the 2020 US elections down from 9/4, bookie Ladbrokes gave each of his closest rivals at this stage, Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, a 12/1 chance of becoming the first female president of the United States.

Ladbrokes even went as far to say that it felt it was "still more likely" that he resigns or gets impeached during his first term in office at 6/4.

Fellow bookmakers Paddy Power have gone so far as to issue the POTUS with even odds when it came to impeachment, giving it a 9/4 chance of happening by the end of the year - the same odds Trump had previously been given of winning said election.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said, "There's still a while to go, but things are looking OK for Trump at the moment and his odds have tumbled accordingly."

"His first State of the Union speech wasn't a disaster, polling numbers aren't getting any worse, the economy is steady and there's no obvious Democratic candidate emerging yet," she added.
