Former US President Donald Trump is on a winning streak this week. Along with his Super Tuesday domination, he won his appeal to the Supreme Court, which reversed the state of Colorado’s decision on Trump’s removal from the ballot.
Trump Strengthens His Republican Candidacy Prospects
While writing this article, Trump has 858 delegates, needing less than 400 to win the nomination. At this pace, that’s expected to be pretty soon. His main rival and the only big name left in the race, Nikki Haley, has only 86 delegates.
Right now, Trump is -5000 to win the Republican nomination, while Haley sits at +12,000. Despite being out of the race, Ron DeSantis is slightly behind, +12500. Tucker Carlson has the same odds as Florida’s Governor, but it seems that this race is already a done deal.
Surely, SCOTUS’ 9-0 ruling, which brought back Trump’s name on the ballot paper in Colorado, boosted his morale and the morale of his voters. Also, victories on Super Tuesday have further generated the momentum and the swing.
Civil Fraud and Bankruptcy Possibilities
Donald Trump was sentenced to paying $454 million to the state of New York after being convicted for misstating the value of assets on financial statements sent to banks. According to some sources, Trump has enough cash to pay the fine, but others suggest he doesn’t.
The interest is increasing the sum of roughly $1 million every nine days, making things worse for the former President. That’s why we have the new Trump special, which revolves around his bankruptcy.
When looking at the odds, he is expected to declare it before the elections.
