Running-Mate Watch
Vice presidents are not elected on their own — each party's nominee picks a running mate, usually between the spring primaries and the summer convention. Nobody has been chosen for 2028, so this page tracks the sitting vice president alongside the figures most often named in national reporting as likely ticket options.
