Former US President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign event at Wildwood Beach in Wildwood, New Jersey, on May 11, 2024. In a normal presidential campaign, the announcement of a running mate gets a lot of media attention — but has little immediate importance.  But Donald Trump’s campaign this year is not normal. And his veep pick this year could well be the most important such choice of our time – with major implications for the future of both the Republican Party and American democracy as a whole. The vice presidency of the United States is an odd office. Its main function is to simply have someone on deck if the president dies or resigns. But the office has very few formal powers. Modern presidents sometimes delegate tasks for their vice president to do, but veeps mostly just hang around waiting for their chance at the big job. “I am nothing, but I may be everything,” the country’s first vice president, John Adams, famously said. Veeps matter because they have a decent chance of later becoming president, even though most don’t: 15 of our 49 veeps so far have later gotten the big job. The more common way to do that is the abrupt one — nine ascended because the president died or resigned. But six others later got elected in their own right, including, of course, the current president. So usually, the veep is the (possible) future of the party, but a new veep typically has to wait eight years (through a presidential reelection campaign) to get to that future, and his or her nearer-term importance in governing is less clear. But there are three unusual features about Trump’s situation that mean his veep pick will be more immediately important than usual. 1) Trump is term-limited, and there’s much uncertainty about the post-Trump GOP: Let’s start with the obvious: If Trump wins in November, the Constitution is clear that he can’t be elected for another term in 2028. So unless there’s a total collapse in constitutional government and the rule of law — fingers crossed there’s not! — he starts as a lame duck. Enter his vice president. Modern veeps are nationally known figures who have at least a good shot at winning their party’s presidential nomination in the future. There have been 20 presidential elections since World War II, and 12 have featured a veep — current or former — on the ballot. So Trump’s VP will be widely interpreted as his possible successor. On top of that, Trump’s persona has loomed so large over GOP politics for the past decade that it’s hard to imagine what the post-Trump Republican Party will look like. His choice could well determine whether the party gets even more extreme, or whether there’s a relative return to normalcy. 2) Trump poses threats to democracy — would his VP stand up to him? Typically, the veep’s only formal power of note (besides being the successor-in-waiting) is being the tie-breaking Senate vote, as the president of the Senate. But on January 6, 2021, another VP duty — presiding over Congress’s counting of the presidential electoral votes — became hugely important as Trump tried to steal the election from Joe Biden. The count is usually a formality, but Trump pressured Vice President Mike Pence to effectively seize control of the vote count, tossing out swing state results where Biden won. Had Pence actually done that, it would have thrown the process into chaos. But, relying on legal advice that he had no such authority — and, perhaps, on his own conscience — Pence refused. What if someone more unscrupulous had been in the VP job on that day?  The exact circumstances of the 2020 election crisis are unlikely to repeat. But a second-term Trump may well try to degrade democracy in other ways that are difficult to precisely foresee. Which raises the question: Will Trump’s future veep stand up and defend democracy, or not? The early signs aren’t great. Last week, we saw the spectacle of various veep hopefuls trekking to New York City to spin for Trump outside of his criminal trial, competing over who could come up with the most fulsome protest of how unfairly Trump was being treated by the legal system. With 2028 coming around so soon, the incentives for the VP to remain in Trump’s good graces will be strong, since falling out of his favor could sink any chance of becoming president. That may mean turning a blind eye to Trump’s abuses of power. Or the veep could end up doing the right thing; anything’s possible. 3) Trump’s age and corruption make it more likely he’d leave office involuntarily ahead of schedule: Finally, though veeps have often gone on to be elected president, the more common way they’ve ended up in the job is through its sudden vacancy, due to health or scandal reasons. Both are a bit more likely to befall Trump than the average president. Trump is about to turn 78, and his advanced age makes it somewhat more likely that health reasons would prevent him from making it all the way through another four-year term. The odds of that are probably still low — Trump isn’t known to have serious health problems and would benefit from top-notch care. Still, sometimes old people decline quickly. (All this applies to Biden as well, of course.) Apart from death, the only other reason the presidency has been vacated early is a corruption scandal, when Nixon resigned to avert certain impeachment and removal from office. Trump is famously corrupt and is already the only president to be impeached twice. So it isn’t much of a stretch to suspect that there might be some corruption or abuse of power scandals leading to another Trump impeachment effort in his next term. Conviction seems less plausible: It’s possible that, no matter what Trump ended up doing, there wouldn’t be enough Senate Republicans willing to remove him from power.  Still, it is at least theoretically possible that there is a line he could cross that would finally lead to Congress booting him. If so, the vice president would be there to take his job. This story originally appeared in Today, Explained, Vox’s flagship daily newsletter. Sign up here for future editions.

Brittany Kjenaas and her husband live with their three-year-old daughter in northern Minnesota, paying more for child care than their mortgage. Kjenaas, a health care supply manager and her husband, a miner on the Iron Range, cite their daycare bills as the primary reason they’ve abandoned plans to have any more children. “We waited until we were in our ‘30s to start a family and…it’s not an exaggeration to say that the decision was based on the cost of child care,” she said. “She is our only child, and unless something changes in the cost of child care, she will remain our only child.” Kjenaas is not alone in speaking out about how the prohibitive costs of child care are shaping the reproductive decisions of middle class families like hers, families that are ineligible for any of the existing low-income child care assistance programs. In Minnesota state Sen. Grant Hauschild has been sharing how he and his wife considered having a third child but decided against it due to daycare costs. It’s among the top three issues he hears about from constituents on a daily basis, as well as from prospective employers considering setting up businesses in his region. It’s what makes a bill Hauschild introduced alongside Minnesota Rep. Carlie Kotyza-Witthuhn this year so interesting. Their legislation — known as Great Start Affordability Scholarships — targets middle and upper-middle class families, those earning up to 150 percent of the state median income, or $174,000 for a family of four. Think Small, a local children’s advocacy group, estimated the scholarships would reduce child care costs for 86 percent of Minnesotans with kids under 5. The benefits would be on a sliding scale but could be as high as $600 a month per child, with the state sending payments directly to Minnesota child care providers. The effort aims to ultimately cap family child care payments at seven percent of a household’s annual income, an affordability threshold endorsed by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, and more recently by a bipartisan Minnesota state task force. (HHS landed on this benchmark about a decade ago after determining that between 1997 and 2011 families spent about seven percent of their income consistently on child care.) A seven percent cap would represent a massive change for most Minnesota families, who pay some of the steepest child care costs in the country. Infant care in Minnesota stands at an average annual cost of $1,341 per month, and $1,021 for preschool. The Economic Policy Institute, a left-leaning national think tank, estimates the average Minnesota family with an infant and a preschooler pays now roughly 37 percent of their household income for care. State leaders like Hauschild have been getting fed up with federal inaction. Republicans rebuffed Democrats’ $400 billion child care proposal during the 2021 Build Back Better fight, and child care funding was excluded from Congress’ Inflation Reduction Act in 2022. While bipartisan compromise on child care seems possible, leaders right now seem to only be able to find common ground on helping low-income families. The Minnesota proposal failed to advance this year, but advocates believe their time lobbying on an off-cycle budget year has positioned them well for 2025 when the legislature embarks on more serious appropriations. Still, whether state lawmakers will be able to ever fully fund the program’s cost (an estimated roughly $2 billion or so annually) without the federal government is unclear. If the proposal passes, Kjenaas said it would do even more than enable her family to grow. “If we pay a few thousand less on child care we’d be able to take our daughter to the zoo, go see a movie, and even plan a fun road trip because we’d finally be able to do so without the stress of how much money it would cost at the end,” Kjenaas testified before a Minnesota House subcommittee in November. “We’d be able to buy healthy food at the grocery store instead of pre-packaged stuff. We’d be able to have time to make healthy meals because my husband wouldn’t have to work overtime to pay catch up on our bills…We’d have room to breathe.” Building a bigger political base for child care Not everyone in Minnesota agrees with the push to expand child care subsidies for wealthier families, especially since low-income families are still struggling. But it helps, advocates say, that the state legislature succeeded a year prior in securing new child care investments specifically for poor families. Armed with a substantial budget surplus, Minnesota lawmakers in 2023 raised early childhood education workers’ pay with a half billion dollar investment, and invested $300 million more into early learning, including new investments in Head Start and low-income scholarships. “For a long time the emphasis has been on most vulnerable kids and we made some really big strides in that area last session,” said Ericca Maas, director of policy and advocacy for Think Small. “We came together after that and said well glaring at us is middle-class families.” Clare Sanford, the government relations chair for the Minnesota Child Care Association, a provider group, said the debates around equity continued this year as advocates lobbied for the Great Start Affordability Scholarships program. Some activists protested pushing to help wealthier families before those with the least resources were fully covered. This debate was never fully resolved, but ultimately, Sanford said, leading groups decided they’d be more successful in the long-term if they could expand their coalition to include more families. “There’s a fundamental agreement that we need to help those who have the least first, and we know we haven’t finished doing that, however part of the strategy, is we need middle class families to see themselves as part of this,” she told Vox. “We need more political will to form a greater political base.” Megan Pulford, a single mother of two in northeastern Minnesota, is the type of parent advocates like Sanford want to bring into their coalition. As a bank loan officer Pulford has never qualified for state child care assistance, but covering the cost of daycare for her two kids comes at nearly $2,000 a month. “Money is just so tight, our bills are just so tight,” she told Vox. “If we didn’t have to pay as much for child care we could actually put more into our local grocers, local businesses.” A big part of the coalition-building strategy is helping middle and upper-middle class parents overcome feelings of shame that they may be struggling with costs at all. Lawmakers have long treated child care assistance as a carrot to induce poor mothers to work, rather than a general investment in the healthy development of all children. “The myth in our country is that very young children are a private responsibility, not a public one,” said Sanford. “Everyone will pay taxes to fund public K-12 schools whether or not they have kids because that’s a commitment we’ve made as a society that an educated workforce is something we all need. We do the exact opposite for ages 0-5.” “We feel the need to help parents really understand that this is a shared experience, and that it’s okay for them to share that they’re not holding up,” Maas, of Think Small, added. The search for simple language continues American child care advocacy is often plagued by cumbersome math and jargon, and the effort in Minnesota this year was no different. In contrast to Canadian politicians who’ve been spearheading a message around child care costs for no more than $10-a-day, US progressives have long stuck with more complicated language around limiting costs to thresholds of annual household income. (The specific threshold to signal affordability used to be ten percent, though was lowered to seven percent about ten years ago.) The seven percent benchmark was recently included in Senate Democrats’ Child Care for Every Community Act, and the Biden administration’s new rule to reduce child care costs for families already receiving subsidies. Rep. Kotyza-Witthuh, the Minnesota House sponsor of the Great Start Affordability Scholarships, said they felt seven percent was a good target because Minnesota lawmakers had already pledged commitment to the goal last year in statute, and because it already exists as a federal recommendation. But advocates acknowledge it can be very confusing, particularly since many families don’t know what seven percent of their household income is, and for some families the goal is to still have them spend less than seven percent. Talking about “capping” child care costs, advocates hoped, would at least provide a clear policy message they could galvanize parents around, but then child care providers started getting nervous, interpreting the cap language as a cap on their expenses, or a cap on the amount of tuition they can charge. “People freak out when you talk about a cap,” Maas told Vox. “Providers freak out about things they charge being capped, and some parents really bristle too at the idea that they couldn’t invest more in their child if they wanted to.” To mitigate this confusion, some advocates started describing the proposed scholarship subsidy as more like a co-pay, similar to health insurance. But health insurance costs are also among the most confusing Americans have to budget for. While the fight was unsuccessful this session, Democratic leaders in Minnesota say they’re keeping it as a goal for 2025. “It is a priority for my caucus and our leadership,” said Kotyza-Witthuhn. “Everyone knows the system is broken.”

Ten years ago this spring, Vox was founded with the mission to help people understand the news through explanatory journalism that made complex topics accessible to anyone. Central to that mission was our promise to put our audience first in everything we do: constantly innovating to create accessible journalism for our audience, answering their biggest questions, and meeting them where they were.  Over that same decade, the world has navigated a pandemic, the worsening impacts of climate change, the global rise of authoritarianism, the devastation of multiple wars, and more. We’ve also seen turbulence in the media industry, with audience habits changing, constantly shifting technology and social media algorithms, and a fast-evolving advertising economy. We’re living and working in a complicated era. But 10 years on at Vox, we still strive every day to provide clarity on the most complex topics. Our goal since our launch has expanded: We want to explain the news, but also to offer context, analysis, solutions, and advice, on the topics that are getting our attention, and those that should get more of it. We want our audience to understand the world they live in so that they can help shape it. One thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to putting our audience first, and to continuing to develop new ways to serve them wherever they are — be it our website, podcasts, videos, social platforms, or newsletters.  That’s why at Vox, we’re proud to be celebrating our 10-year anniversary, and we’re kicking off our next decade with a number of new innovations to better serve you, our loyal audience: a new website, a new membership model to expand our offerings and support our business, and a slate of new newsletters and podcasts to double down on the journalism our audiences have come to know and love over the last decade. Here’s a peek at what’s coming: Our new website: You’ve probably noticed our website is looking a little different! We’ve relaunched our website with a sleek, updated design that makes it easier for you to discover and find all of the journalism you love, be it politics, culture, climate, or everything in between; articles, podcasts, or videos; or entire sections like Even Better, Future Perfect, or Down to Earth. A new membership program: To keep producing the journalism you love, we need your support. Over the past four years, financial contributions from our audience have helped sustain our work. Now, we’re excited to announce a new program that will allow our audience to get even closer to Vox. Today we’re launching Vox Membership, where in exchange for your financial support, you’ll receive exclusive member perks like behind-the-scenes content, opportunities to connect with our journalists through Q&As and chats, virtual events, access to our digital magazine, The Highlight, and a bonus monthly edition of The Highlight Podcast, and more. Read more about Vox Membership here, and sign up to become a member here. A slate of new newsletters coming this year: We know one of the reasons our audience is loyal to Vox is because of our journalists and the deep expertise, perspectives, and analysis they bring to their work. So throughout this year we’ll be launching new newsletters from a number of our journalists, such as: SCOTUS, Explained, a Supreme Court newsletter from Ian Millhiser; On the Right, about what’s happening with the American right from Zack Beauchamp; Within Our Means, on ending poverty in America from Abdallah Fayyad; Next Page, full of book recommendations from Constance Grady (with a special Ask a Book Critic edition for Vox Members); and many more to come.  We’re launching two new podcasts: The Weeds host Jonquilyn Hill will helm a new, audience question-driven show that will tackle a wide range of topics and harness the expertise of Vox’s reporters to explain everything from personal finance to pop culture to public policy. And we’ve recently brought on award-winning host Julia Longoria to develop a new, narrative audio series in collaboration with Future Perfect that will dig into questions about our future in complex, difficult-to-understand topics like artificial intelligence, medical technology, and factory farming. We’ll share more on both new shows in the coming months.  At Vox, we’ll continue to always put you, our audience, at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for supporting Vox and for being along for the journey this past decade, and into the next one.
