CT Senator Chris Murphy Has Chance of Winning 2020 Presidential Election, Website Says

After nearly two weeks have passed and the results of the 2016 Presidential Election are still the big subject on everybody’s minds, a gambling website has revealed that Connecticut may have a connection in the results of the 2020 election.

Online gambling site Bovada has posted a wager that allows people to bet on the winner of the 2020 Presidential Election, and Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has made the list, according to the Boston Globe. At the moment, Murphy has a 1 percent chance of winning.

Bovada currently has President-elect Donald Trump as the leading wager topping the list, as reported by the Boston Globe. House-speaker Paul Ryan, Vice President-elect Mike Pence and former First Lady Michelle Obama are not far behind.

Murphy currently has the same chances as New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, musician Kanye West and actors George Clooney and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Murphy had previously told Patch during a phone interview in June of this year that he did not have any aspirations for higher office at the time.

“My desire is just to do this job for as long and as well as I can,” Murphy said. “I want to do the job with dignity and passion. I certainly think about my kids, but just as importantly I want everyone else in the state to be proud of the job that I am doing. I think about that a lot.”

Murphy won election to the U.S. Senate in November 2012, and is not up for re-election until 2018. He serves on the Appropriations Committee, the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the Foreign Relations Committee and the Democratic Steering & Outreach Committee.

He made headlines in June for leading a 15-hour filibuster on the U.S. Senate floor in response to the Pulse nightclub shootings in Orlando, Fla. He is also considered an ally of the Newtown Action Alliance.
