As the presidential election approaches, voters are paying closer attention to the vice presidential candidates due to the advanced ages of both President Joe Biden, 81, and former President Donald Trump, 78. Some voters, like Donovan Dykstra, a student at Georgia Tech, are undecided about the presidential candidates and are looking towards the vice presidential choices for guidance. Dykstra expressed interest in potential VPs Vivek Ramaswamy or Ben Carson to sway his support.
While Trump has not yet announced his running mate, speculations are circulating. Alissa Baker, a supporter of Nikki Haley, hopes to see the former South Carolina governor as Trump's VP. Baker emphasized the importance of considering the age factor of both candidates this election cycle.
On the other hand, Donny Crummet from Massachusetts, a conservative voter, views the vice president role as significant but not decisive in his vote. Crummet values strong communication skills in a running mate and favors Ramaswamy, despite reports that he may not be in contention for the role.
Post-debate, Baker highlighted a trust issue with the Biden campaign, noting discrepancies between their messaging and the public's observations. She expressed feeling misled by the campaign's portrayal of the president's strength.
