So I'm gonna go in the way-back machine for this intro President Herbert Hoover, that's a long time ago, his running mate in the 1928 election was Republican senator Charles Curtis of Kansas.
Major GarrettHOST
After the appointed Republican lost the subsequent special election, his seat was filled in 1932 by a Democrat named George McGill, a result that signaled political turmoil in the days of the Great Depression.
Major GarrettHOST
McGill served until 1939.
Simon WhistlerHOST

Together, the two declared that they'd continue the prosperity of the Coolidge years.
Simon WhistlerHOST
Given Hoover's popularity, he could have probably spent the campaign asleep on his sofa and still won.
