Following Joe Biden’s recent exit from the race, oddsmakers wasted no time in adjusting their betting lines for the next Democrat presidential and vice presidential picks. BetOnline, an offshore betting company, has set Kamala Harris as the frontrunner for the Democratic presidential candidate, with overwhelming odds of 1 to 9 in her favor. This means that bettors would have to wager $900 to win $100, indicating a high level of certainty from the betting site regarding Harris’s chances.
While Harris is a clear favorite, other notable candidates include California Governor Gavin Newsom, with odds of 15 to 1, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and former First Lady Michelle Obama, both at 16 to 1. Despite these contenders, Harris remains significantly ahead in the betting odds, leaving the competition far behind.
Potential Vice Presidential Picks
In addition to the presidential race, the speculation around Harris’s potential vice presidential pick is gaining attention. BetOnline favors Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro as a likely candidate, giving him odds of 7 to 4. Shapiro’s recent national visibility, particularly in the aftermath of a recent incident involving Donald Trump in Pennsylvania, has elevated his chances in the betting odds. Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina and Governor Andy Beshear of Tennessee are also in the running for the VP spot.
For those looking for more unconventional picks to take over the vice presidential slot, BetOnline offers odds for celebrities and public figures such as George Clooney at 100 to 1, former University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban at 250 to 1, and Oprah Winfrey at 250 to 1. While these picks may be long shots, they add an interesting twist to the betting landscape.
Despite Harris’s strong position in the betting odds, BetOnline still gives President Trump better odds (1 to 2) of winning the election compared to Harris (2 to 1). With over 100 days until the election, there is still room for changes in the odds. Democrats have a limited time to make their final decisions, making it crucial for bettors to act quickly before the odds shift once again. The race is on, and the stakes are high for all contenders involved.
