evidence: Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has emerged as a top choice to be Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate in the 2024 presidential election, some recent polls show. [...] Many names have been floated, such as Buttigieg and governors Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Andy Beshear of Kentucky. However, several recent polls have shown Buttigieg as a top choice among Democratic voters. [...] William Hill this week offered 14/1 (6.7 percent) on Buttigieg running as the Democrats' vice presidential pick, but the odds improved to 4/1 (20 percent) as of 5 a.m. ET on Thursday. Kelly remained the firm favorite at 11/8 (42.1 percent), less than the 10/11 (52.4 percent) on Wednesday.
