For a while, I assumed it would be Vance or Burgum, but now I am rethinking. Trump is nothing if not a huge ego. Does he want anyone with any charisma or intelligence? Or will he pick someone that no one has heard of or cares about so that he does not have to share the spotlight?
Vance got it because he's the white guy with the shortest name. Easiest for trump to spell and say. Closest to "Pence," too.
So if it's Vance, which seems likely since Rubio and Borglum got the "Not You" call, Republican Ohio Governor Dewine would pick Vance's replacement in the Senate.
Would Vance have to pre-emptively resign from the Senate to run as Veep? or not until after the election, if ( Goddess forbid it)Trump is re-elected? Is Gov Dewine a MAGA follower or an old-school Law and Order Republican?
Since he's not up for re-election this year, Vance doesn't have to do anything unless Trump wins.
i don't know much about Dewine, other than he handled the pandemic way better than his fellow GOP governors
Other GOP governors did just as well as Dewine in trying to handle COVID in their states: Scott (VT), Sununu (NH), Baker (MA), Hogan (MD). Of course, you won't find Desantis, Abbott, or their like among those quality GOP governors.
Shortly before the pandemic, I read somewhere that Charlie Baker was the most popular governor in the country. Baker did not run for re-election in 2022. He had become a popular target for the limited number of MAGAs in Massachusetts.
DeWine is a conservative, and when I look at what he has done, he's slightly more culturally conservative than his predecessor (Gov. Kasich),
He is a former US House member, then Lt. Gov., then US Senator for 2 terms (until beaten by Sherrod Brown), Ohio AG for 2 terms, and then Ohio Governor. Re-elected in 2022. In that campaign, Ballotpedia summarized his themes as
His "pro-life" agenda expanded to what he did about COVID — a long mask mandate and a long stay-at-home mandate. Those moves were long enough "the Ohio General Assembly passed a law limiting executive powers related to health orders."
Nope, Vance is running from cover. His Senate term runs until Jan. 2029, and he's free to continue if PAB loses.
If PAB wins, GOP Gov. Mike DeWine will pick Vance's Senate successor, who will serve until a special election is held in 2026.
This is why Vance gets the nod. He spouted the most inflammatory nonsense about The Yam’s near miss:https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/republicans-vance-point-fingers-biden-assassination-attempt-rcna161841
Birds of a feather, y'know. It takes a punk-ass bitch to know one. Vance has demonstrated his craven fealty to his Master and the Fourth Reich sufficiently to join the family..
Primary reason is that Vance is an angry White guy spouting Trump's favorite fascist lines.
Secondary reason is that Vance has won a statewide race in Ohio, and has strong name-recognition.
As he ran for Senate in 2022, a headline on the issues section of his campaign website read simply: “Ban Abortion.”
Abortion, abortion, abortion
Maybe to help the Republicans defeat Sherrod Brown
