The two major parties in the United States, the Democratic and Republican parties, typically select their presidential and vice presidential candidates during their national conventions, which occur in the summer of election years. Delegates from each state gather to formally nominate their chosen candidates based on the results of the primary elections and caucuses held earlier in the year. The presidential candidates often announce their running mates shortly before or during the convention, solidifying the ticket for the general election.

Nixon's running mates were Dwight Eisenhower as a Vice Presidential candidate, and Spiro Agnew as Presidential candidate. Gerald Ford did not run with Nixon, though he later became his Vice President.
Running mates in past elections often refer to vice presidential candidates who accompany presidential nominees on a ticket. For example, in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Joe Biden's running mate was Kamala Harris, while Donald Trump's was Mike Pence. In the 2008 election, Barack Obama's running mate was Joe Biden, and John McCain's was Sarah Palin. These pairings play a crucial role in campaigning and governance.
They are called the party's presidential ticket. Also the party's presidential nominees.

Originally, the person who finished 2nd in the presidential election was vice president. The 12th amendment made them running mates, so that they were in the same political party.
The Republican candidate cannot start his presidential campaign until a Republican candidate is selected. The President probably won't start his campaign until he knows exactly who he will be running against.
It's a little different: the political parties used to nominate vice presidents by separate voting procedures during the Parties' national conventions in the election years. Gradually and starting in the 20th century, Presidential candidates (who had always had some influence on the earlier vice-presidential election processes) became the major players in deciding who should be voted vice-President. The first to simply name a running mate even before the Party Convention started was Ronald Reagan in his (then unsuccesful) bid for the Republican nomination in 1976.
