With tRump surrounded by an avalanche of criminal trials over the summer... if he can't actually be the GOP candidate...then I'm guessing the VP pick will fill the slot.....so, we probably need to think ahead...prepare for the candidate not to be tRump by end of summer ....it's a thought...
Plus, Robert Kennedy Jr may be the opposition????
Just looking at potential scenarios... I don't think tRumps health will endure well under the criminal trial currently and the next few to follow....the summer will be an entirely new adventure in politics...

(11,921 posts)My daughter has a coworker who is a geeked out fan of the guy. I had heard someone mention the possibility of Kennedy as a VP pick, but I cant see Trump wanting to compete with the Kennedy name even though Bob Kennedy is a family pariah.

(12,426 posts)thus become the opposition to President Biden by default...Not sure if he will be on ballot for a 50 states...but then maybe???
I just have not heard anything regarding the " what if" possibility wherein tRump is unable to run say for health issues...other option exist but I won't go there now...
so, I don't know if the VP pick fills in if tRump is unable to run....
This is good food for thought ant discussion over coffee...be prepared essentially...not be blindsided...

(3,686 posts)November is still a long way off and trump seems to be disintegrating before our eyes. Im sure the powers that be behind him are already working on who they can control and put forward.
We need to explore other scenario settings just in case....

(4,383 posts)If the presidential nomination is vacated between the party convention and the election, the Republican National Committee would be responsible for choosing a new presidential nominee.
(They could of course choose to elevate the Vice Presidential nominee to the presidential nomination, but I would consider that unlikely. My personal bet would be on Ron DeSantis.)
If the nomination is vacated before the convention, then of course the party delegates would choose another nominee.
(This whole discussion came up here a few months ago, 'what happens if Trump dies'...)
FarPoint
(12,426 posts)We all need to keep this information handy....be prepared.
I obviously missed that discussion thread a few months back.....now it seem more plausible...
