Her intent to put her name into the race for governor is favored with odds of -250 while odds are listed at +185 that she will choose not to make the attempt. It certainly seems as though she will campaign to become the next Governor of Arkansas.
“There are two types of people who run for office,” said Sanders. “People that are called and people that just want to be a senator or governor. I feel like I’ve been called. It’s the role I’ve been pushed into. I wouldn’t want to do that if I wasn’t the right person to fit what the state needed at that time.”
That sounds like a person that will be running in the next election. With President Trump behind her, as well as the people of Arkansas, sportsbooks are not the only ones to favor Sanders for the job.
She is seen as a very big fish in a small pond in the state after working with Trump for almost two years before leaving six months ago. The people hold her in very high regard because of her work history.
With what sounds like an impending announcement ahead, wagering on Sanders to run for office is almost a lock. She has expressed her interest and sports betting sites have realized it themselves, allowing bettors a chance to get in on the action.
