Are all the headshots necessary?

I feel like prose might be better. David O. Johnson (talk) 05:19, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

Nominee

Is it wise that this article assumes that Donald Trump will be the nominee. I know that its the most likely outcome, but I think this article may be a bit too presumptuous (Aricmfergie (talk) 04:28, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Nikki Haley

Now that Nikki Haley has announced her campaign, should we remove her from this page for the time-being? Mtobar2002 (talk) 23:51, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

I think it would be wise to keep her in there, until either A.) She wins the primaries or B.) She declines the offer of Vice President from any presidential candidate (should she withdraw from the primaries)HistorianL (talk) 00:12, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Tags for who could be who's running mate

I was thinking of something like a little note/tag next to the name of potential running mates of who could be who's running mate so for like Suarez, a tag next for him name showing him as a potential running mate for Haley would create less confusion. HurricaneKappa (talk) 00:50, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

Yes, this would definetely improve the page. 2806:103E:D:EBAF:253A:8F4:759A:CA95 (talk) 22:57, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Why is this a draft?

This is important, so no need to be a draft. SmashingThreePlates (talk) 11:54, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Trump's children

With Trump being most likely the presidential nominee. I'd recommend removing his children from the list. GoodDay (talk) 00:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Former Candidates declining

Ramaswamy and Desantis were both listed under "Declined" due to comments they made during their Presidential runs. Seeing as there wouldn't be much reason to publicly say you'd want to be Vice President while running for President comments like those shouldn't result in candidate being under declined. They should only be added if they have declined after suspending their campaign TheFellaVB (talk) 01:22, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Agree it’s clear that ramaswamy wants the VP spot 2600:8801:1187:7F00:141E:692E:B241:2472 (talk) 23:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Image too big in edit

I changed Ramaswamy's position to "during the primary" but the image of his face is too big. Requesting someone to fix. Rc2barrington (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

It's fixed.David O. Johnson (talk) 23:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Ramaswamy status

Rc2barrington, can you explain your reversion of my edit here: [1]? Ramaswamy doesn't belong in the "Declined to be considered" section, since it's not Ramaswamy ruling it out, but Trump. David O. Johnson (talk) 21:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Shortlist (media speculation) will change each frequently, may as well make separate sections (for each month) based on how events unfold until one is chosen.

This will prevent the shortlist and media speculation sections from clashing. For instance, Marco Rubio was announced as a potential VP by NBC today, but it failed to substantiate if he was part of the "official" shortlist (if there is a comprehensive one set in stone). It also announced Carson was part of the shortlist; both of whom are listed as media speculative.

One source will not have all the answers. Dividing the "shortlist" section into separate sections (or even subsections) based on time measurement will display how the VP pick changes or narrows within the following months of the campaign, and is definitely of encyclopedic value. Also, it will prevent overlapping and conflicting edits. Pillow da Don (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Huckabee Sanders

It's pretty straightforward to me that she indicated [2] that she isn't interested in running for president. David O. Johnson (talk) 03:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
