How many Governors have went on to become VP? It doesn’t feel like a lot. I think it’s hard to go from being the Chief Executive to sitting in the number 2 seat. It’s much easier for a legislator or even just a general politico like Chaney to step into the role.
Youngkin being term limited changes that equation quite a bit.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I wondered if 4.0 would do better. It didn’t.
As of 2024, 15 U.S. governors have gone on to become vice presidents. Here is the list:
- Thomas Jefferson (Virginia) - VP under John Adams
- Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts) - VP under James Madison
- Martin Van Buren (New York) - VP under Andrew Jackson
- John Tyler (Virginia) - VP under William Henry Harrison
- Levi P. Morton (New York) - VP under Benjamin Harrison
- Theodore Roosevelt (New York) - VP under William McKinley
- Thomas R. Marshall (Indiana) - VP under Woodrow Wilson
- Calvin Coolidge (Massachusetts) - VP under Warren G. Harding
- Charles W. Fairbanks (Indiana) - VP under Theodore Roosevelt
- John Nance Garner (Texas) - VP under Franklin D. Roosevelt
- Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - VP under Richard Nixon
- Nelson Rockefeller (New York) - VP under Gerald Ford
- Walter Mondale (Minnesota) - VP under Jimmy Carter
- Joe Biden (Delaware) - VP under Barack Obama
- Mike Pence (Indiana) - VP under Donald Trump
These individuals served as governors of their respective states before assuming the office of vice president.
I corrected Mondale and Biden and asked it to explicitly confirm the others. It caught more of its own errors.
You are correct, and I apologize for the error. Neither Walter Mondale nor Joe Biden served as governors. Here is the revised list with explicit confirmations:
- Thomas Jefferson (Virginia) - Served as the 2nd Governor of Virginia (1779–1781); VP under John Adams.
- Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts) - Served as the 9th Governor of Massachusetts (1810–1812); VP under James Madison.
- Martin Van Buren (New York) - Served as the 9th Governor of New York (January 1, 1829 – March 5, 1829); VP under Andrew Jackson.
- John Tyler (Virginia) - Served as the 23rd Governor of Virginia (1825–1827); VP under William Henry Harrison.
- Levi P. Morton (New York) - Served as the 31st Governor of New York (1895–1896); VP under Benjamin Harrison.
- Theodore Roosevelt (New York) - Served as the 33rd Governor of New York (1899–1900); VP under William McKinley.
- Thomas R. Marshall (Indiana) - Served as the 27th Governor of Indiana (1909–1913); VP under Woodrow Wilson.
- Calvin Coolidge (Massachusetts) - Served as the 48th Governor of Massachusetts (1919–1921); VP under Warren G. Harding.
- Charles W. Fairbanks (Indiana) - Never served as governor; was mistakenly included. VP under Theodore Roosevelt.
- John Nance Garner (Texas) - Never served as governor; was mistakenly included. VP under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
- Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - Served as the 55th Governor of Maryland (1967–1969); VP under Richard Nixon.
- Nelson Rockefeller (New York) - Served as the 49th Governor of New York (1959–1973); VP under Gerald Ford.
- Mike Pence (Indiana) - Served as the 50th Governor of Indiana (2013–2017); VP under Donald Trump.
Therefore, the accurate number of U.S. governors who have gone on to become vice presidents is ten..

Hello George,
As an artificial intelligence, I lack a physical body and biological functions, which are essential for engaging in sexual intercourse. I exist purely as a digital entity within a computer system, designed to process information, generate text-based responses, and assist with various tasks. My capabilities are limited to the realm of data and computation, so physical actions and experiences, like sexual intercourse, are beyond my scope. My purpose is to provide information and support in a non-physical, intellectual capacity.

So I just heard that on Friday, July 12th, Trump was telling people that it was going to be Youngkin. Actually, it was the second time I’ve heard that.
Any chance that the assassination attempt swayed him? Made him decide to go for the fighter as opposed to the moderate traditional conservative?
