Historically, only George H.W. Bush, in 1988, successfully transitioned from vice president to the presidency, highlighting the rarity of this political pathway since 1836.
The relationship between a vice president and a sitting president is critical; a well-liked incumbent can boost the vice president's chances, as demonstrated by George H.W. Bush.
The dynamics of past elections show that narrow losses for vice presidents like Nixon, Humphrey, and Gore were shaped by wars, scandals, and the effectiveness of televised debates.
A vice president's success in running for the presidency hinges not only on personal popularity but also on the strength of their partnership with the president.
