The chances of President Joe Biden withdrawing from the race for U.S. president hit 68%, challenging an all-time high of 70%, after he said he had been diagnosed with Covid-19, according to bets placed on the crypto-based prediction market platform Polymarket.
Biden acknowledged the poor performance, blaming jet lag and an intense travel schedule.
A public call-out from long-time Democratic supporter George Clooney for Biden to step down rocketed the 'Yes' side of the contract up to 66% for a short while before it returned to the 30s.
