Can VPs drop out even if they want to? I don’t think you can after a certain date. You can do a Shermanesque declaration and resign but the office would still be yours if you ran, declared you were dropping out, then won
I assume that since the deadline has past for some states, Vance has to be on the ballot, even if he drops out. Trump has to carry him to term (pun intended). For example, RFK Jr. dropped out, but will still be on the ballot.
If these terrible people are elected and do not take the oath of office, then presumably the 25th amendment takes effect, and a new VP is appointed by the president, or the VP elect ascends to President if the presidency is vacant.
He needs to drop out.

I’m pretty sure you can say “fuck this place” at any stage of the game.
