There was a key debate in Cleveland, Ohio on Thursday, resulting in a number of big changes for some hopefuls. However, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush still remains the 2/1 favorite to get the nomination.

On Aug. 5, anti-online poker lawmaker Lindsey Graham, a Senator from South Carolina, was 50/1 to get the party’s nod, but now he sits at 250/1.

Graham introduced legislation in June to ban online poker nationwide.

The candidate who had the best result from the debate was former business executive Carly Fiorina, who went from 100/1 to 50/1 after her performance.
