Kamala Harris Favored To Be Joe Biden's Running Mate

As the presidential election gets closer, one name stands out as the top potential running mate for Joe Biden. According to oddsmakers, Sen. Kamala Harris of California is the clear favorite to be picked by the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Harris, 55, leads the list of potential candidates with +115 odds, according to odds compiled by BetOnline. She has experience on the campaign trail, having sought the Democratic nomination before dropping out on Dec. 3.

“I know that conversation is taking place in the press and among the pundits, and I’m honored to even be considered, if that’s the case,” Harris said in June on ABC’s “The View.”

Placing a $10 bet on Harris at +115 would net an $11.50 profit if Biden chooses her as his vice president. A bettor that puts a $100 wager on Harris would make $115 in the event that she becomes Biden’s running mate.

More than a dozen women have been under consideration to be named Biden’s vice president, according to reports.

Former national security adviser Susan Rice has the second-best odds +250. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., is third at +450, followed by Rep. Val Demings of Florida at +800.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., has +1,000 odds. In November, BetOnline gave Warren better odds than Biden to win the primary. Warren dropped out of the presidential race on March 5.

During a debate in March with Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., Biden committed to naming a female vice president if he won the Democratic primary. Two months later at a fundraiser, Biden said he hoped to name a running mate around Aug. 1.

A new ABC News/Washington Post poll gives Biden a significant edge over Donald Trump in the presidential election. Among registered voters, Biden has a 55% to 40% lead over Trump.

Biden is a -190 favorite to win the presidential election on Nov. 3. Trump is a +160 underdog.
