This article lists possible candidates for the Republican nomination for Vice President of the United States in the 2012 election. On May 29, 2012, former Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts won the 2012 Republican nomination for President of the United States, and became the presumptive nominee. On August 11, 2012, Romney officially announced his selection of Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan as his running-mate to supporters via an iPhone app, though the selection of Ryan had already leaked to the press hours before the official announcement. Ryan was the first individual from Wisconsin to appear on a major party's national ticket, although third-party presidential candidate Robert La Follette won 16% of the popular vote in the 1924 election. The Romney–Ryan ticket ultimately lost in the general election to the Obama–Biden ticket, but the defeat did not harm either of their careers; from 2015 to 2019, Ryan served as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives while Romney, having moved to Utah, has been in the United States Senate since 2019.
