Once your candidate has selected a Vice-Presidential candidate, there are several activities that the Vice-Presidential candidate can do on a daily basis.
To select an activity
- Click the Vice-Presidential Flag Button on the main screen.
- From the Activities panel, click the button for the corresponding activity.
Barnstorming
Barnstorming is a generalized activity that includes town hall meetings, stump speeches, mixing, and rallies.
If you barnstorm in the same constituency for more than a 5 turns, you will take a drop in your barnstorming Power as local media coverage of your campaign drops. If you start in primaries, the Power will be replenished once you enter the General Election, so you can campaign another 5 turns before it’s Power will drop again as local media coverage of your general election campaign drops.
Do Debate Prep
Doing Debate Prep will move your Vice-Presidential candidate closer to increasing their Debating Skill attribute. They get a bonus if they have progress toward the next level of Debating Skill attribute, but it will only be half as valuable as a full point increase. For example, a 3 for Debating Skill gives you three points, while being 50/100 towards 4 only gives you an extra .25, not an extra .5.
Do Fundraiser
Fundraisers will increase your campaign money.
Develop Campaign
A Vice-Presidential candidate developing your campaign will increase your Established Progress rating by 5 points. Once you reach 100 Established Progress points, your Established rating will increase by 1.
Rest
Your Vice-Presidential candidate can rest to replenish their Energy Points. Any days where there are no activities scheduled for them will automatically be filled with Rest activities.
How do you pick your Vice President?
If you start the game in General Election mode, then you pick the Veep on the Select Candidate screen. If you start in Primaries mode, you pick your Veep after your party’s convention (a box pops up with a list of possible Veeps) or if you make an offer to a competitor to be your Veep and they accept.
