I keep seeing talk about Republicans wanting to replace Vance. I don't know if it will happen, but if it did, who on the Republican side would they pick? Is there anyone that can bring excitement to the VP position?

Usual response is a head of lettuce (goes back to British PM Liz Truss), but I’ll go with a couch 😂
Beyond sarcasm, Marco Rubio is who I think Trump would have picked if Kamala Harris had been the known nominee. I’m not sure Rubio and excitement belong in the same sentence but he’s still nominally considered an old school Republican. Anti-Trumpers could have held their nose and voted that ticket based on Trumps age and Rubio could center the party back closer to how it had been.

Can they replace him since they’ve already had their convention?

For all the noise the GOP was making about how the Dem's couldn't legally pull Biden off the ballot (even though they haven't had their convention and he wasn't the official nominee yet), I find it fascinating that they feel the choice made at their convention can be changed now.  From what I understand, a change can be made up to the deadline to file names for the ballot in each state. I'm not clear if Vance would have to step down rather than be booted on Trump's whim (would be based on RNC rules). Rumor is he wanted Doug Burgum and was persuaded to pick Vance, but I don't see Burgum reinvigorating or bringing excitement to the campaign. Maybe Ivanka?  |

If the Republicans were strategic, they would pick Haley, Rubio or maybe even Elise Stefanik. But, Trump is clearly in charge and as we all know, he puts his own interests first. Vance stroked his ego and is willing to refuse to certify the election. Trump probably chose him because he was arrogant, he thought he could beat Biden and didn't think he needed to win over voters. Maybe Trump will replace Vance with Marjorie Taylor Greene?

They have a short window of time to replace him but I'm not sure exactly, maybe a week?

Anti-Trumpers could have held their nose and voted that ticket based on Trumps age and Rubio could center the party back closer to how it had been. If he picks Rubio one of them has to immediately ( if it’s not already too late ) establish residence in another state. If no since they are both from Fl the Fl electors can not vote for both of them thus loosing floridas’s electoral votes. If Trump suddenly moves his residency to Bedminster that may tip off some changes. As a sitting Fl senator Rubio can’t really move residency easily. Same reason why Harris can not easily pick Newsom Explained here unbiased www.instagram.com/reel/C9-30oju33E/?igsh=bHpvcDluMnN6cHB4L |

I heard on one of the YT channels that they can but it has something to do with the printing of the ballots (or the books they send out I guess). They have to do it before that deadline. They mentioned one state but I cannot remember which. CORRECTION: They have to meet the Ohio deadline to file to be on the ballot. As of July 28 they had "about 10 days". |

How many Republicans would even want to be his VP anymore? No one has to do this for him. Maybe a MTG or Jim Jordan. It feels like the wheels are coming off of the bus.

Ohio is one of the earliest, August 7 was the first deadline set. I think they extended it to Aug 23 and September 1, but the Ohio Senate initially tied the extension to a bill the Democrats wouldn't sign. Before Biden dropped out, Democrats decided to have the delegates vote virtually to get around the deadline and avoid any potential problems. I'm not sure if anything changed when Biden dropped out. Other states are later in August, around the 20th. www.reuters.com/fact-check/ballot-deadline-has-not-passed-any-us-states-2024-07-30/ |

I don't think Donald would want to admit he made a mistake. When he loses, he can have someone else to blame. If someone called me all of the names Vance did to Trump, I wouldn't have picked him no matter what my kids thought.

The mental gymnastics one has to make to understand him answering almost any question leads me to believe he THINKS he is very smart and that we are all very dumb. If he twists things around, he thinks he can get out of being wrong. He cannot. |

She wouldn't be my choice but she kisses Trump's a&s and would appeal to him for that reason. She also said she would not certify an election. But, I don't know that he's capable of choosing a woman. |

Wouldn’t that be kind of like admitting they made a mistake? With how the MAGA faction of the Republican Party is and how they run things, when stuff starts going to hell in a hand basket they usually don’t cut and run, they tend to double down no matter how bad things get and then try to gaslight and spin it into something else.

Hard disagree. Trump signature phrase is "you're fired". How many times has trump said his hire was "the best ever", "perfect", etc. only to fire them and call them "the worst", "stupid", etc. The turnover in that administration was incredible. How many Secretaries of State did he have? Chief of Staff, Communications people, etc. Honestly, I truly believe the only reason trump didn't "fire" Pence during his term is because he couldn't. |

I hope he doesn’t ditch him because he is spectacularly unlikeable and reminds people how extreme Project 25 is. Go Vance!
I fully believe if he picks a new VP it will be Haley and he will literally say “see, we have an Indian woman too.”

If Trump starts dropping in the polls I could see him blaming Vance, because there is no way that he would ever consider that he himself is a problem.

If he wants to dump him, he better do it before August 26. Once he gets to 6 weeks, Trump has to carry him to term.  It will be hard to change him out once ballots are printed. If JD steps down, then trump can pick a replacement, but the names won't be on the ballot in many states. I don't know if that matters since the base will be voting for the first name and not the second. I'm sure there is some sort of paperwork they would have to file in each state to replace him in the election, though. |
