Abstract

Description

The Republican and Democratic nominees for president will face a momentous decision - their choice of a running mate. Vice Presidents today are central players inside the White House, serving ​as close presidential advisers and trouble-shooters​. The prominence of today's Vice Presidents is the direct result of Walter Mondale's transformation of the office​,​ which had previously been relegated to "stand-by" status in case of the president's demise. Vice President Mondale will be joined by Joel K. Goldstein, the country's leading scholar of Vice Presidents​, to weigh each party's choice and its importance to the campaign and to the next presidency. Dr. Goldstein's new book will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
