There are different schools of thought on how to pick a VP. In 2016, Trump went for balance, tapping Mike Pence, an experienced politician who appealed to social conservatives.

In Arizona, Gov. Katie Hobbs, 54, defeated Trump-aligned Kari Lake in 2022 in an election centered on abortion and election integrity. Hobbs won the support of even some state Republicans, and Liz Cheney’s PAC ran ads against Lake. Hobbs has proved she can carry the center, a valuable asset in a year when Democrats are vying for moderates and independents.
