With Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump the presumptive US presidential
nominees for their respective parties, attention has turned to their
choices for vice president. Tim Kaine is the +160 favorite at press time
to become Clinton's Democratic running mate, while Newt Gingrich leads
the list of Republican hopefuls at +160.

The Republican National Convention is being held in Cleveland from July
18-21, so Trump is expected to announce his selection sometime next
week. Gingrich, the former Speaker of the US House of Representatives,
has the highest profile of the possible candidates, but has also been
critical of Trump in the past. Chris Christie (+750) is a more natural
fit, and carries more betting value as the third favorite. Sarah Palin
is also available as a +4000 long shot.
Clinton hasn't quite secured her party's nomination yet, and the
Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia isn't until July 25-28,
so her decision will likely come after Trump's. Kaine is the junior
senator from Virginia, expected to be a swing state in the upcoming
election. Elizabeth Warren (+300) is the more popular choice of the
Democratic base, but a two-woman ticket is considered risky at this
point with Clinton heavily out-polling Trump.
