Democratic Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders campaign for President of the United States continues to gain momentum with a 5 point slashing of his odds over the past 24 hours at Sportsbook.ag. He was now listed at 20-1 odds of becoming the new U.S. President. Only Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton (+105), Republicans Jeb Bush (4-1), Scott Walker (10-1) and Marco Rubio (12-1) had shorter odds of winning.
Sanders was now within striking distance of beating former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton in Iowa, the first primary state in the quest to determine the party nomination.
In May, Mrs. Clinton led with 60 percent support to Mr. Sanderss 15 percent in a Quinnipiac poll. Last week the same poll showed Mrs. Clinton at 52 percent to Mr. Sanderss 33 percent.
Sanders, a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist who officially is listed as an Independent, has been drawing record crowds at scheduled events.
"We are going to send a message to the billionaire class, and that message is, you can't have it all," Sanders told a crowd in Iowa.
We are worried about him, sure. He will be a serious force for the campaign, and I dont think that will diminish, Jennifer Palmieri, the Clinton campaigns communications director, said Monday in an interview on MSNBCs Morning Joe.
For her part, Clinton appeared to brush him off during her first major media interview since declaring her candidacy with CNNs Brianna Keilar.
