The in-depth analysis explores how Newsom's national profile, fundraising power, and executive experience have positioned him as the early frontrunner in a crowded field that includes Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer, and others.

While Newsom leads at +185, the report highlights that the Democratic field remains remarkably open. Ocasio-Cortez, at +450, has energized the progressive wing and attracted record-setting small-dollar donations. Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor known for pragmatic leadership, offers bettors long-odds value at +1100. Meanwhile, figures like Wes Moore, Kamala Harris, and Gretchen Whitmer represent viable middle-ground options that could surge if early debates or endorsements shift momentum.

Bookmakers Review also notes the growing curiosity around longshots, with celebrity names such as Michelle Obama (+3000), Stephen A. Smith (+4000), and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (+5000) generating lighthearted but consistent speculation among bettors.

Although none have signaled any intent to run, their inclusion underscores the entertainment factor now intertwined with American politics.

"Political betting markets provide an early window into how the public perceives leadership, charisma, and electability," said Frank Ammirante, Managing Editor at Bookmakers Review. "Even this far from 2028, the odds tell a story about what voters and bettors value — whether it's experience, momentum, or media presence."

The piece concludes that Newsom remains the safest bet, but the most intriguing value lies with the younger and more unconventional candidates.

As the 2026 debate season approaches, odds are expected to swing sharply based on fundraising totals and early primary narratives — giving bettors plenty of opportunities to act before the markets shift.
