Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to be the Democratic vice presidential nominee. The 51-year-old Democrat has been consistently leading in the oddsmakers’ boards, with his odds improving as Kamala Harris secured the presumptive presidential nomination. Shapiro has maintained his position ahead of other contenders like Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Kentucky Gov. Andrew Beshear.
Various sportsbooks, including Bet365, Bovada, BetOnline, and Oddschecker, have listed Shapiro as the clear favorite for the vice presidential nomination. Harris is expected to announce her pick before Wednesday, August 7, and will tour battleground states with her choice next week.
Shapiro’s odds have improved significantly, with bettors needing to wager a higher amount to win if they bet on him. The Pennsylvania governor’s strong position in the betting market suggests that he is a top contender for the Democratic vice presidential nomination.
