On the Internet, there is a nasty joke that the outgoing US president pardoned his son Hunter Biden because he thought he was a “turkey,” a reference to the Thanksgiving custom.
Bettors have begun placing bets on who the 46th President would pardon next after President Joe Biden declared that he had pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, protecting him from prosecution and jail time, which he had a very strong possibility of serving after being sentenced in two criminal prosecutions.
Gamblers Are Glad to Bet on the Upcoming Presidential Pardon
Any wrongdoing that Biden may have committed between January 1, 2024, and December 1, 2024, will not be prosecuted.
However, Kalshi is already operating other election markets for wagerers to take advantage of. After successfully establishing its political race prediction markets and fending off legal concerns, the site garnered headlines and promised to grow its offering, which is now underway.

The President’s eldest brother, Jim Biden, is also one of the potential candidates for a pardon. Biden has now amended his first statement that he would not think about pardoning his son Hunter. Jim Biden is now a 33% favorite to be pardoned after the President’s unexpected U-turn.
Republicans who would have felt free to bring the issue up under the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, who has led a revanchist campaign characterized by a retaliatory streak, also suspect the oldest of the Biden brothers of engaging in illegal activities.
But Kalshi isn’t only depending on the Bidens to spark curiosity. Dr. Anthony Fauci is another well-known person who may be singled out under the Trump administration.
Some Members of the Administration Deserve Amnesty
Conspiracy theorists on the Trump team and the larger Republican caucus are putting pressure on Fauci, since many of his opponents maintain that Fauci lied when he informed the American people that immunizations would inevitably halt the virus from spreading during the COVID-19 pandemic epidemic.
Fauci may also be held accountable for allegedly lying to the US Congress when he denied claims that the US government was supporting research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is thought to be the genesis of the COVID-19 virus.
Diddy, a lifelong Democrat who is a very improbable candidate for presidential clemency, is also included as one of the viable markets to provide some spice. He is charged with transportation for prosecution, sex trafficking by force, and racketeering.
According to Kalshi, the rapper still has a 2% low chance of receiving a pardon. The probabilities indicate the extreme rarity of such a morally dubious choice.
