Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to be the Democratic vice presidential nominee. He has been the top choice of oddsmakers, overtaking other contenders such as Mark Kelly, Tim Walz, and Andrew Beshear. Shapiro’s odds have significantly improved, with bookmakers now favoring him heavily to be chosen as the running mate for presumptive presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Harris is expected to announce her pick before Wednesday, August 7 and plans to tour battleground states with her choice. Shapiro’s odds at various sportsbooks, including Bet365, BetOnline, and Bovada, indicate that he is the clear favorite among bettors. While U.S. bookmakers cannot legally offer betting on political events, the odds offered by international bookmakers suggest that Shapiro is seen as the most likely candidate for the vice presidential spot. The betting market movement reflects the growing confidence in Shapiro’s chances of being selected as Harris’ running mate. The odds for other potential contenders, such as Mark Kelly, Tim Walz, and Andrew Beshear, have fallen behind Shapiro’s, making him the clear standout in the race for the Democratic vice presidential nomination.
