In recent times it come to be viewed as a springboard to run for the presidency.

Given the two most recent examples Pence & Harris it now may be reverting back to the norm.

Biden and Bush 41 are notable exceptions.

Pence & Harris are typical folks you'll expect in a VP.

The POTUS does not like it if his VP is too ambitious.
