President Joe Biden and Donald Trump remain the frontrunners in the 2024 presidential election.
While the rematch between Biden and Trump looks more and more certain, questions continue to emerge on who the vice-presidential nominees could be.
What Happened: Biden formally declared his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race and is committed to having current Vice President Kamala Harris serve as his running mate.

Donald Trump/Nikki Haley: 11.1%
Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis: 56.1%
The results on LinkedIn were:

Joe Biden/Kamala Harris: 21%
Donald Trump/Nikki Haley: 10%
Donald Trump/Ron DeSantis: 34%
Without knowing the political voting party of the respondents in the poll, some observations can still be made.
Both polls showed a…
