2020 US Vice Presidential Pick Odds: Kamala Harris Leading The Pack
2020 US Vice Presidential Pick Betting Odds
Joe Biden has delayed the announcement of his running partner until August 10 and the shortlist of potential running mates is a long, and very impressive list.
Senator Kamala Harris is the favorite according to Britsh bookmakers, with her price varying between a best price of -137 and shortest of -200.
Susan Rice, former National Security Advisor, is nipping at Harris' heels at +425, with Senator Tammy Duckworth currently third in the running at +900.Â
Behind them still are further names including Senator Elizabeth Warren at +1600 and Representative Karen Bass at +1800.
| Candidate | Odds (UK Format) | Odds (US Format) | Implied Percentage Chance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kamala Harris | 8/11 | -137 | 57.9% |
| Susan Rice | 17/4 | +425 | 19% |
| Tammy Duckworth | 9/1 | +900 | 10% |
| Elizabeth Warren | 16/1 | +1600 | 5.9% |
| Karen Bass | 18/1 | +1800 | 5.3% |
| Val Demings | 25/1 | +2500 | 3.8% |
| Michelle Obama | 28/1 | +2800 | 3.4% |

| Keisha Lance Bottoms | 70/1 | +7000 | 1.4% |
Kamala Harris' 2020 Democrat VP Nominee Odds
Kamala Harris has long been favorite to be the Democrat Nominee and has been ahead of her competition for a long time, although her odds have shortened dramatically in the past 1-2 weeks since a photograph of Joe Biden's notes appeared, with the Senators name on them.
Just 10 days ago she was as long as +175, giving an implied probability of 36.4%, which has nearly doubled to today's level of 57.9% probability.
The graph below compares Kamala Harris' odds in relation to her rivals for the Democrat VP Nomination.
Susan Rice's 2020 Democrat VP Nominee Odds
As seen in the graph above, Susan Rice is the second most likely to win the Democrat VP Nomination. She has only recently climbed the betting, beginning her ascent at the start of June, having been an afterthought before that.
The former National Security Advisor is a big rival to Harris now as her best odds of +425 indicate. She is one to keep an eye on in the coming days as Joe Biden's announcement draws closer.
2020 Democrat VP Nominee Betting Breakdown
You can clearly see that Kamala Harris has always been favorite with both the books and bettors. What is very interesting is that bettors are seeing a late surge from Karen Bass, who seems to have become a major player in the betting.
Michelle Obama continues to be a popular choice with bettors, perhaps more of hope than insight, given the former First Lady has huge odds to overcome.
