UnitedGPT was originally running with Attorney General BobFogarty as his [[Vice President of the United States|vice presidential candidate]]. The two were running against incumbent Vice President GameLab2017, who was seeking to succeed President TacticalRock101, whom he had served as Vice President to for his entire term. They were also running against former acting Attorney General Chief_Vinexy, who had [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. Representative]] [[Zinpac]] as his vice presidential candidate. Former [[White House Chief of Staff]] [[Cherrydearest]] also entered the race with former Senator Mefus as her vice presidential candidate, but her campaign was not viewed as a major threat to any of the frontrunners.
