TIME's surprise 2026 favorite: Mamdani tops
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has overtaken U.S. President Donald Trump in the betting markets for TIME magazine's 2026 Person of the Year selection.
In the current betting odds listed on Oddschecker, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani appears first, followed by Pope Leo XIV and U.S. President Donald Trump.
Mamdani’s rapid rise to become one of the most talked-about figures in U.S. politics has fueled his ascent in the betting market.
The TIME decision belongs to editors.
It is pointed out that the betting odds are not an official assessment by TIME. TIME’s “Person of the Year” selection is made by the magazine’s editors, taking into account a person's news coverage and impact on the world.
Therefore, Mamdani being ahead of Trump in the betting markets does not prove that he is more popular or more successful. The odds merely reflect the current expectations of the candidate in the betting market.
