I don’t think a primary candidate can announce his VEEP until the convention.

Who said? He can name a VEEP anytime he wants.

[joesbucks]

They can at anytime.

[Boogieman]

Sure he can. It’s just not traditionally done, because you usually want to save that as a bargaining chip to secure the nomination, or as a bone to toss out to help heal the wounds caused by primary infighting.

I don’t think a primary candidate can announce his VEEP until the convention.

A candidate can name the VP choice anytime but it is not official until approved by the delegates at the convention.

I think they can do it anytime they want.

Mostly they hold out to get $$ support from their party.

I think Cruz did in 2016?
