Joe Biden Withdraws, Kamala Harris Presidential Odds Shorten

With Joe Biden officially out of the race, Kamala Harris is the overwhelming favorite (-1200) to be named the Democratic candidate.
Harris has +190 odds to win the U.S. Presidential Election, trailing Republican candidate Donald Trump at -215 odds.
Josh Shapiro (+200) is the most likely Vice President under Kamala Harris.

WASHINGTON – Joe Biden’s anticipated withdrawal on Sunday further impacted the political betting landscape for president, vice president, and Democratic candidacy. Now that Biden endorsed Kamala Harris, her odds at US Presidential betting sites shortened to +190 odds to win the 2024 Presidential Election.

US Presidential Election Odds

Donald Trump Sr. -215
Kamala Harris +190
Michelle Obama +2000
Hillary Clinton +4000
Gavin Newsom +5000
Gretchen Whitmer +5000
Robert Kennedy Jr +5000
JD Vance +8000

Donald Trump remains the favorite at -215 odds, but the Democratic side are making changes to better oppose the former president. After a failed assassination attempt on Trump influenced betting odds, the Democratic Party will bring a new candidate in the Presidential race.

Will Kamala Harris Take Over For Joe Biden?

Kamala Harris expects to take over after Biden publicly endorsed her in his resignation letter. Harris has -1200 legal sports betting odds to be named the Democratic candidate over the likes of Michelle Obama (+900), Hillary Clinton (+2000), and Gavin Newsom (+3000).

Democratic Candidate Odds

Kamala Harris -1200
Michelle Obama +900
Hillary Clinton +2000
Gavin Newsom +3000
Gretchen Whitmer +3000
Josh Shapiro +3000
Andy Beshear +5000
JB Pritzker +5000
Mark Kelly +5000
Dean Phillips +10000

Instead of picking between other potential candidates, Bovada offers +600 odds for the entire field outside of Harris. Harris is virtually locked into that spot so there’s better value on picking her Vice President.

Odds Say Josh Shapiro Will Be Kamala Harris’s Vice President

Josh Shapiro’s selection as Vice President would likely lock in Pennsylvania, a key swing state, that would aid a Democratic victory. Various surveys and polls show Shapiro is well-liked by both Republican and Democratic voters and he’s the only governor on the betting board that works in a divided legislature.

Democratic Vice President Betting Odds

Josh Shapiro +200
Roy Cooper +250
Mark Kelly +350
Andy Beshear +500
Pete Buttigieg +1600
Michelle Obama +2000
Gavin Newsom +2500
Gretchen Whitmer +2500
J.B. Pritzker +3000
Kamala Harris +5000

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro at +200 odds is a great fit to be Vice President under Kamala Harris. He would retain his role of governor throughout the race but give up the office if he is sworn in as Vice President.
