With Trump being most likely the presidential nominee. I'd recommend removing his children from the list. GoodDay (talk) 00:14, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ramaswamy and Desantis were both listed under "Declined" due to comments they made during their Presidential runs. Seeing as there wouldn't be much reason to publicly say you'd want to be Vice President while running for President comments like those shouldn't result in candidate being under declined. They should only be added if they have declined after suspending their campaign TheFellaVB (talk) 01:22, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree it’s clear that ramaswamy wants the VP spot 2600:8801:1187:7F00:141E:692E:B241:2472 (talk) 23:20, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed Ramaswamy's position to "during the primary" but the image of his face is too big. Requesting someone to fix. Rc2barrington (talk) 22:13, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's fixed.David O. Johnson (talk) 23:33, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rc2barrington, can you explain your reversion of my edit here: [1]? Ramaswamy doesn't belong in the "Declined to be considered" section, since it's not Ramaswamy ruling it out, but Trump. David O. Johnson (talk) 21:32, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This will prevent the shortlist and media speculation sections from clashing. For instance, Marco Rubio^[1] was announced as a potential VP by NBC today, but it failed to substantiate if he was part of the "official" shortlist (if there is a comprehensive one set in stone). It also announced Carson was part of the shortlist; both of whom are listed as media speculative.

One source will not have all the answers. Dividing the "shortlist" section into separate sections (or even subsections) based on time measurement will display how the VP pick changes or narrows within the following months of the campaign, and is definitely of encyclopedic value. Also, it will prevent overlapping and conflicting edits. Pillow da Don (talk) 03:44, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
