If JD Vance runs a 45's VP.....

[FarPoint]

Will Vance have to surrender his Senate Seat in Ohio to run as VP on tRumps ticket?

1. Who supported the insurrection more, Trump or J.D. Vance?

Could they both be disqualified?

2. Probably not. Most states, given a favorite son's opportunity to be VP allow a double ticketing

LBJ ran for Senate and VP in 1960 and Lloyd Bentsen did it again in Texas in 1988. Biden ran for VP & Senator simultaneously in 2008. The only person to give up a senate run to be on a national ticket in modern history was Barry Goldwater in 1964 and the precedent there is... uninspiring.

4. And Vance isn't even up for re-election until 2028

I don't know of any state that says that he would have to resign unless he wins.

6. Thanks....

Here in Ohio....wishful thinking is now off the table....one can now just dream....

9. Well, he'd still have to resign if the ticket wins

Of course, that's an even worse option.

3. No. He was sworn in as a Senator in January of 2023, and isn't up for reelection until January 2029.

If he was up for election in 2024, that would be different. He couldn't run for both offices simultaneously.
Now if Elise Stefanik was Trump's VP running mate, she would lose her House seat, since she has to run for reelection this fall.

5. Also, Ohio law says

Ohio is one of the states that allow a candidate to run for VP & Congress at the same time, according to Ballotpedia.

7. Ohhhhh crap...

It was a thought .....Vance is just shameful....I live in Ohio and was looking for some fresh air...

8. Harris didn't resign her senate seat

until shortly before the 2021 inauguration

10. I don't see those two alpha males

Surviving the campaigning season… someone would end up dead on the floor.
