Sen. J.D. Vance knows Americans can't be influenced by a billionaire celebrity with little interest in the day-to-day problems they face. Vance (R-OH) made a bold claim about billionaires to Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Wednesday afternoon. But he wasn't denouncing former President Donald Trump...
I assume that since the deadline has past for some states, Vance has to be on the ballot, even if he drops out. Trump has to carry him to term (pun intended). For example, RFK Jr. dropped out, but will still be on the ballot.
If these terrible people are elected and do not take the oath of office, then presumably the 25th amendment takes effect, and a new VP is appointed by the president, or the VP elect ascends to President if the presidency is vacant.
