WASHINGTON — When he officially gets into the 2020 presidential race on Thursday, Joe Biden will have this math working against him.
Since World War II, only two of the six full-term vice presidents who have tried have gone on to win the presidency — fulfilling either a party’s third term or its restoration to power.
And both victories were on the Republican side.

Biden has Biden’s history working against him in 2020.
He’s a freaking kiddy groper. The only footage we should see of him until some people blow some whistles is him creeping on kids.
FU Biden.
Exactly!
I’ll hand it to the groped. Pun intended. He hasn’t fondled a 9 year old breast on video in over two months
The curse of Hubert H. Humphrey...
"I bet Bill didn get you this hot."
Old, white, corporate, not socialist enough.
No way he appeals the Democrat base of 2020.
The debates will be interesting. “You were part of the Obama administration, which was ushered in amongst adulation and Greek columns and Republicans stepping and fetching in deference. You could have instituted all of our socialist wet dreams within a matter of months.
So why didn’t you?”
That’s a stomach-churning photo.
And Americans would have elected a bone fied pervert to the Presidency.
Ptuh!
His creep factor will do him in.
Funny how the front runners for the whitey hating Democrat Socialists are creepy crackers like Sanders and Biden.
Still remember Prez Trump saying “Obama picked Biden as VP from the trash heap”
Prez Trump is always right.
Looney Joe is an incompetent, inept, bunglig a$$ idiot!!!
There are three precedents working against Biden. First and foremost, the VP is not an executive, he is (since the 12th Amendment) the political heir of the president. That is why, in all of history, only three sitting vice presidents have been elected president. John Adams (tho that was before the 12th Amendment) succeeded George Washington. Van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson. And GHW Bush succeeded Ronoldus Maximus. You get the picture, sitting VPs have only been able to succeed game-changing presidents.Secondly, but related, senator is also not an executive position, and no senator has ever defeated as sitting president. Nixon is the salient example of a former VP winning the presidency, but he defeated a senator who also had no big-league executive experience. The only senator ever to defeat a governor was Warren G. Harding - who succeeded a by-then-very-unpopular Woodrow Wilson (from that perspective, Romney might have had a better shot at beating Obama in '08, when Obama was only a senator - but then, at that point the Bush economy legitimately stank).
And the third point is that winning presidential candidates are shooting stars - nobody who hasn’t achieved at least the vice presidency within 18 years of winning statewide office (senator or governor) has ever been elected president later.
The bottom line is that it is pretty rare to defeat a sitting president who runs for reelection. Since WWII, only Carter lost a reelection bid. If Trump’s economy holds steady . . .
A fourth sitting Vice President who was elected President was Thomas Jefferson in 1800/1801 (the election was in 1800 but it wasn't decided by the House of Representatives until February 1801 because Jefferson and Burr received the same number of electoral votes).
Looks like NBC has joined the DNC conspiracy to oust Joe Biden from the running for the presidency!
Thank you, you are correct. But since he was a former governor of Virginia, and since his election to VP was a fluke in the counting of electoral votes and he had actually opposed the election of President Adams, that doesn’t affect the rest of my critique. There have been only two sitting VPs elected after the 12th Amendment who got elected POTUS.
True. And he lost to a governor. Primarily because of “Read my Hips.” Actually being Regan’s political heir just wasn’t good enough for him . . .
Regan’s political heir? Donald Regan was Secretary of the Treasury during Reagan’s first term only. By 1988 I doubt being his political heir would have done Bush much good.
