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:

1. Thomas Jefferson (Virginia) - VP under John Adams
2. Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts) - VP under James Madison
3. Martin Van Buren (New York) - VP under Andrew Jackson
4. John Tyler (Virginia) - VP under William Henry Harrison
5. Levi P. Morton (New York) - VP under Benjamin Harrison
6. Theodore Roosevelt (New York) - VP under William McKinley
7. Thomas R. Marshall (Indiana) - VP under Woodrow Wilson
8. Calvin Coolidge (Massachusetts) - VP under Warren G. Harding
9. Charles W. Fairbanks (Indiana) - VP under Theodore Roosevelt
10. John Nance Garner (Texas) - VP under Franklin D. Roosevelt
11. Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - VP under Richard Nixon
12. Nelson Rockefeller (New York) - VP under Gerald Ford
13. Walter Mondale (Minnesota) - VP under Jimmy Carter
14. Joe Biden (Delaware) - VP under Barack Obama
15. 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:

1. Thomas Jefferson (Virginia) - Served as the 2nd Governor of Virginia (1779–1781); VP under John Adams.
2. Elbridge Gerry (Massachusetts) - Served as the 9th Governor of Massachusetts (1810–1812); VP under James Madison.
3. Martin Van Buren (New York) - Served as the 9th Governor of New York (January 1, 1829 – March 5, 1829); VP under Andrew Jackson.
4. John Tyler (Virginia) - Served as the 23rd Governor of Virginia (1825–1827); VP under William Henry Harrison.
5. Levi P. Morton (New York) - Served as the 31st Governor of New York (1895–1896); VP under Benjamin Harrison.
6. Theodore Roosevelt (New York) - Served as the 33rd Governor of New York (1899–1900); VP under William McKinley.
7. Thomas R. Marshall (Indiana) - Served as the 27th Governor of Indiana (1909–1913); VP under Woodrow Wilson.
8. Calvin Coolidge (Massachusetts) - Served as the 48th Governor of Massachusetts (1919–1921); VP under Warren G. Harding.
9. Charles W. Fairbanks (Indiana) - Never served as governor; was mistakenly included. VP under Theodore Roosevelt.
10. John Nance Garner (Texas) - Never served as governor; was mistakenly included. VP under Franklin D. Roosevelt.
11. Spiro T. Agnew (Maryland) - Served as the 55th Governor of Maryland (1967–1969); VP under Richard Nixon.
12. Nelson Rockefeller (New York) - Served as the 49th Governor of New York (1959–1973); VP under Gerald Ford.
13. 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?

[Horace]

I've heard the Vance choice is ideological rather than for electability. One coherent way to think about it, is that Trump worries he'll be killed, and he wants his backup to be the guy he trusts most to advance his platform.

[Horace]

Not to advance the obviously completely absurd idea that Trump cares about any ideology other than self-aggrandizement. Everybody knows that Trump cares about nothing but himself. Sorry to pollute this forum with such a crazy idea that he cares about an ideological legacy.

Said before, Trumpism is a movement. Trump wants to fundamentally change the GOP. It's more American centric, less globally focused, has more elements of populism and has an industrialism focus. It has an element of Reaganism, where a rising economic tide lifts all boats. It emphasizes less government regulation, less federal mandates and lower taxes.

Trump has on multiple occasions championed the worth of people who create and build things... Craftsmen, factory workers, entrepreneurs, etc. In that aspect, it is more blue collar than the Romney wing of the party.

Having dealt with his company, Bain Capital, yeah, much more worker friendly than Romney.
