Last Dem ticket that won without at least one slave state nominee on the ticket as either President or Vice-President was FDR/Wallace in 1940.
Please make it be douchebag Beto O’Rourke. Would love to see that clown humiliate himself on a national stage.
Not sure if the Bolshevik base will ever accept a White, straight male from flyover country at the top of their ticket again, though.
Delaware was a slave state. Even Biden pointed this out many times.
Not relevant
Delaware was a slave state
Obama/Biden
Which was the slave state? Illinois or Deleware?
Look it up stupid
Every Republican administration, save one, since 1861 has had a president or VP, or both, from a slave state. Only Herbert Hoover (Calif.) and his VP Charles Curtis (Kan.) came from states where slavery was never allowed.
Of course is more relevant than anything else.
I will put it in caps to prove it.
RELEVANT.
“ Every Republican administration, save one, since 1861 has had a president or VP, or both, from a slave state.”
Or these.
Trump Vance
Trump Pence
Eisenhower Nixon (Ike ran with home states New York and Pennsylvania)
Hoover Curtis (as mentioned)
Coolidge Dawes
Harding Coolidge
Taft Sherman
Roosevelt Fairbanks
McKinley Roosevelt
McKinley Hobart
Harrison Morton
Garfield Arthur
Hayes Wheeler
Grant Wilson
Grant Colfax
I didn’t include Nixon Agnew because even though Maryland didn’t secede it’s close enough and Nixon Ford wasn’t elected.
Massachusetts was the first slave state. New York, home of our current president, and New Jersey were also slave states.
Massachusetts was never a slave state as it ended slavery before 1789.
It had definitely had slaves as a colony.
Better way for me to say it is no “Confederate” state on Republican ticket. Some non-confederate states had slavery way back. Dems always need a Confederate stater to win.

Interesting how Charles Curtis didn’t get the notoriety as the first Non-White like Harris did.
If any of this makes sense.
In 1976, it was said that pride in the old Confederacy helped Jimmy Carter win much of the South. This was before the Confederate heritage became politically incorrect and something to be ashamed of.
