WASHINGTON — The presidential ticket will look a little different this year.
For the first time in nearly half a century, there will be no Bush, Clinton or Biden on the ticket.
Former President Donald Trump is running for president for the third time, this go-round with JD Vance as his vice presidential candidate. He previously ran and won with Mike Pence in 2016 and then lost with Pence as his running mate in 2020.

The Democratic candidate is still undecided, but all signs show it being current Vice President Kamala Harris, who has served as the VP to President Joe Biden since January 2021. Biden announced Sunday he would not be seeking reelection.
The presidential ticket has been dominated by three last names over the last 48 years. You have to go back to 1976 to find a ticket without Bush, Clinton or Biden on it. That year, Jimmy Carter was named president with Walter Mondale as his vice president. They beat Republican Gerald Ford, who ran with Bob Dole as his vice presidential nominee.
Here's a look at the tickets since then.
