 Thursday, June 27th, 20024 will go down in history as the day Joe Biden lost the 2024 election. More on that below, including who betting markets say will replace him on the ballot. But did you know that over the next twenty-four hours after the debate, the total US national debt would increase by $109 billion? Vice President Kamala Harris is now the bettor's favorite to the Democratic nominee for President. She crossed over President Joe Biden yesterday. Betting markets have her at 48 cents, Biden at 37 cents, and Gavin Newsom and Michelle Obama both at 8 cents (contracts are based on a full value of 100 cents, or one dollar). 
Biden was at 86 cents the night before his debate with Trump. Now, pending a lot of behind-the-scenes discussion about delegates, campaign funds, and the convention in August, it looks like he may not be the party's candidate in November. 
And that raises a more serious question: If the President is unfit to be a candidate and to serve another four years, how is he fit to serve another six months…or another six minutes? If I were a betting man, my money would be on Hilary.
