“The idea is to pick the VP from a state that has influence in areas or with sectors of the population where the Presidential campaign is not very strong.”
When has this actually mattered? I say its political BULLSHIRT.
Mike Pence, Bush 1, Kamala. It may be bullshit, but that is something I’ve read somewhere, they want a VP that complements the Presidential candidate to extend the appeal of the team further. I have also seen a number of articles indicating that there is no law against both candidates being from the same state.
