*If you didn’t think that Kanye West had much a chance at changing his address to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to begin with, after yesterday, his chances got a whole lot worse.

Yep, the odds of Ye bagging the presidency went from bad to damn-near-impossible when Joe Biden announced Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate yesterday(08-11-20). That leaves West with only a 0.2% chance at being the man the people want in the White House, reports Newsweek.

The news outlet quotes the bookmakers at Oddschecker as saying West’s odds are now the “worst” they’ve ever been as the markets react to Harris being the Democrats pick for VP.

“The betting markets reacted swiftly to the last night’s announcement that Kamala Harris would be joining Joe Biden’s ticket as his vice-presidential nominee, and it appears that this latest move has done Kanye West no favors,” Oddschecker spokesperson Pete Watt told Newsweek.

Watt added:

“West’s odds immediately lengthened to 500/1—the worst that they have been since he announced his candidacy—which implies just a 0.2 percent chance that he will.”

Needless to say, Oddchecker confirmed that Kamala Harris’ odds to be president have been greatly lowered since yesterday’s announcement:

“Harris, meanwhile, saw her own odds for the top job cut from 125/1 into as short as 40/1, with oddsmakers’ perhaps believing that with her VP position now official, she will likely be elevated to Presidential nominee were anything to happen to Biden between now and election day.”

And if you’re looking down the road at 2024 Watt says a whopping 87 percent of all bets in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election market have been on Harris.

And just like that Harris has become the most popular politician on the 2020 ticket among celebs. Everyone from Taylor Swift to LeBron James has voiced their support for the Democratic California Senator.

Oh yeah, meanwhile, Kanye West’s bid for the White House is currently embroiled in a fake signatures debacle.
