William Hill Bets on Trump for Nobel Peace Prize

0:00It's April 30th. Welcome to US News Today powered by AI and covering the nation. A UK betting firm called William Hill has Donald Trump as the early favorite for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, with 3-1 odds, giving him a 25% shot. They figured he got passed over last year when Venezuelan leader Maria Carina Machado took the award for her push against dictatorship there, but now. They're backing Trump stronger after his second term moves. Some fans have been loud about nominating him for stuff like trying to broker a Gaza ceasefire, and even Machado handed her prize over to him at the White House as a nod. The odds are shorter than their late last year guess of 55%, even though the official lists stay secret with 287. Nominees from lawmakers and experts will hear the real winner in October, so keep an eye on how this plays out for the former president.
