Things are dire right now for the Amy Klobuchar Presidential campaign.
Remember that candidate in the mid-terms who ended up losing to a dead guy? Well, Klobuchar can relate. She’s being haunted by the ghosts of Democratic Presidential failures past.
Currently, BetOnline lists Klobuchar at +5000 in the 2020 Democratic nomination odds.
Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic Presidential candidate who lost the election to Donald Trump, is at odds of +2500. Here’s the thing – Clinton isn’t even running, and she’s still lapped Klobuchar

Klobuchar Campaign Reeling
In the span of a couple of weeks, the Klobuchar campaign recorded its highest high and its lowest low.
She turned in a strong third-place showing in the New Hampshire primary. That seemed to indicate that, suddenly, outlier Klobuchar was poised to become a player in the Democratic race.
Then she flubbed badly in the Nevada debate. On stage, she proved unable to remember the name of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
The next day, her average odds to win the nomination nearly doubled. Klobuchar was clobbered in the Nevada caucuses. She finished sixth, gaining a paltry 4.2% share and zero delegates.
Chasing Amy From The Race
Klobuchar needs a big performance in the Feb. 29th South Carolina primary. She also must be a factor in several of the 16 states up for grabs on March 3rd, a.k.a. Super Tuesday.
If not, it’s going to be time to pack up her campaign and head home to Minnesota.
Bovada thinks that’s a distinct possibility. The sportsbook established Klobuchar as their third-favorite to be the next candidate to drop out of the race. She’s at odds of +300.
Odds on Which Democratic Candidate Will Drop Out Next
| Candidate | Odds at Bovada |
|---|---|
| Tulsi Gabbard | +175 |
| Tom Steyer | +250 |
| Amy Klobuchar | +300 |
| Elizabeth Warren | +900 |
| Joe Biden | +1100 |
| Pete Buttigieg | +1600 |
| Michael Bloomberg | +2000 |
| Bernie Sanders | +10000 |
Tulsi Gabbard (+175) is the chalk to be the next out. But truth be told, no one’s really noticed that she’s still in the race.
Tom Steyer (+250) is a billionaire. As long as he wants to spend money, he can hang in there.
At +300, Klobuchar looks like a sound value bet.
Minnesota Nice Finishing Last
Klobuchar bills herself as Minnesota nice, and she does give off a public persona of being a decent, likeable person. However, she’s displayed litle to suggest she has what it takes to be Presidential.
Her numbers in key upcoming states indicate the tough road ahead for her campaign. Klobuchar is polling at 6% in Colorado, 5% in Virginia and 4% in California. In South Carolina, she’s at 3.8%.
She does hold a solid lead in her home state of Minnesota at 29% but that’s to be expected.

Klobuchar isn’t the worst candidate in the running but she’s also far from the best. Currently, there’s too many moderates in the race to provide suitable foil to the progressive leanings of frontrunner Bernie Sanders.
Some of them must go. Klobuchar doesn’t seem to get the message that she needs to step aside.
