Following Joe Biden’s recent withdrawal from the presidential race, oddsmakers have wasted no time in adjusting their odds for the next Democratic presidential candidate. BetOnline has placed Kamala Harris as the frontrunner, with astonishing 1 to 9 odds. This means that bettors would have to wager $900 to win $100, indicating a high level of certainty that Harris will clinch the nomination. The odds for other notable candidates such as California Governor Gavin Newsom (15 to 1), Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (16 to 1), and former First Lady Michelle Obama (16 to 1) fall significantly behind Harris.
While the focus is on the presidential race, BetOnline has also speculated about Harris’s potential choice for Vice President. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is currently the favorite with 7 to 4 odds. Shapiro’s national profile has been on the rise, especially after his handling of the recent tragic event in Butler, PA. Other contenders for the VP spot include North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper and Tennessee Governor Andy Beshear, who are also seen as strong candidates.
Unconventional Picks for Vice President
In a more unexpected turn, BetOnline has included some unconventional choices for the Vice President slot. Celebrities such as George Clooney, former University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban, and media mogul Oprah Winfrey are listed with odds ranging from 100 to 1 to 250 to 1. While these picks may seem far-fetched, they add an element of intrigue to the already unpredictable race.
Despite Harris’s strong position in the odds, BetOnline still gives President Trump better chances (1 to 2) of winning the overall election compared to Harris (2 to 1). With more than 100 days until the election, there is still time for the dynamics to shift. As the Democrats approach the deadline for selecting their candidates, now might be the opportune moment to place your bets before the odds fluctuate once again. The political landscape is ever-changing, and one can never be too certain about the outcome of such a crucial election.
