Vivek Ramaswamy says he is not interested in VP nomination.

He is currently polling at about the same as Desantuis, which may or may not indicate something, I don't know. It did get me thinking about what is expected of the VP. The only real obligation there is is to preside over the Senate and can vote in a tie. Since corporate money presides over the Senate and there is seldom a tie due to back door dealing, that is moot. Usually the VP has been either a path to future shenanigans ( LBJ, Gerald Ford, George Bush, etc,) or an action figure for the press to divert to ( Dan Quail, Pence, etc.). Except when Dick Cheney was running the show and Bush was his mouthpiece the position has been pretty much in remission, as today with the VP doing absolutely nothing, her legacy will likely be the first black woman blah blah like that is an accomplishment of some kind. Participation trophies ate generously their reward. Does it even matter in these times? Maybe, with impeachment as a political tool now, or an incumbent wh can't control his or her actions, it may be a big consideration, instead of an add on to an already undesirable package.
That's what they all say while running. After it's over it's a different story.
