Will Vance Replace Trump in the Oval Office?

Presidential betting odds indicate that U.S. Vice President and presumptive Republican presidential candidate J.D. Vance is the most likely to replace Donald Trump in the Oval Office in 2028.

However, Vance still has only a 33.3% implied chance according to the latest odds from bet365. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is a strong challenger at +350 (22.2% implied chance), ahead of the next-closest candidate at +1,400.

President Trump has also flirted with the idea of seeking a third term despite the U.S. Constitution limiting presidents to two terms. Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only president to have served three terms.

2028 US Election odds

Odds courtesy of bet365 as of Nov. 11, 2025. Implied probability in betting is the likelihood of an event occurring as inferred from the odds offered by a sportsbook or the market.

Vance, long the favorite to fill the seat vacated by his current boss, has not moved in odds in more than a month. Newsom, meanwhile, picked up more steam, shortening from +600 in the first week of October to his current +350. That represents a 7.9% increase in implied probability.

Despite showing interest in seeking a third term, President Trump was not given odds of becoming the next U.S. president. The Trump with the shortest odds is Ivanka (+1,800), Trump’s second daughter, who served as his advisor during his first four years in office.

Newsom said in August that he received more than 20 hats that read “Trump 2028.” Even if the current president’s pursuit of another term is rejected, they could be used to fuel the campaign of his offspring.

The only person not named Vance or Newsom with odds shorter than the younger Trump is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (+1,400), the New York 14th District Representative to the U.S. House of Representatives.

2024 Presidential runner-up Kamala Harris has +2,800 odds to win the 2028 election, though she’s also below fellow Democrats Pete Buttigieg and Josh Shapiro (both +2,500).

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has worn enough hats during his professional career, but oddsmakers believe he has a 2.9% chance (+3,300 odds) to add that of the president to his collection.

Other notable figures on the odds board include Donald Trump Jr. (+4,000) and Michelle Obama (+6,600).

Aside from “The Rock,” several celebrities have been rumored to be in the mix for the upcoming presidential election. That includes sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, television host Oprah Winfrey, actor Matthew McConaughey, tortured poet Taylor Swift, and UFC President Dana White; however, all are extreme longshots to become America’s 48th commander in chief.
