Quick Take People bet that North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro could be candidate Kamala Harris’ VP, putting their odds for both at 28%. U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Sunday he would not be seeking reelection in the upcoming 2024 presidential election and endorsed Harris to replace him as the Democratic Party’s nominee.
Bettors on Polymarket are wagering on who could be likely Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris's running mate following U.S. President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the race over the weekend.
People bet that North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro could be Harris's VP, putting their odds at 28% for both as of Monday morning on the decentralized prediction market platform.
Biden announced on Sunday that he would not be seeking reelection in the upcoming 2024 presidential election and endorsed Harris to replace him as the Democratic Party's nominee.
Shapiro, Cooper, Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Witmer, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, among others, could all be in the running for vice president, according to multiple news reports.
It's not clear how Governors Cooper and Shapiro view crypto. Cooper vetoed a bill earlier this month that would have banned payments using central bank digital currencies, calling it "premature, vague and reactionary."
"Efforts are being made at the federal level to ensure standards and safeguards are in place to protect consumers, investors and businesses that may want to make monetary transactions in digital assets and North Carolina should wait to see how they work before taking action," Cooper said in a statement on July 5.
Meanwhile, a grassroots environmental organization sued Shapiro and crypto mining company Stronghold Digital Mining over pollution concerns earlier this year.
