Not even close. But, he isn't Trump 2.0 either. He has served well as VP and over the next two years a determination will be made, hopefully by Trump, who can best run in 2024 on the GOP ticket. Lots of time.

The reality is that few sitting VP’s are elected POTUS. Early on, yes - Adams succeeded Washington. And, FTM, Jefferson succeeded Adams. But that was before the passage of the 12th Amendment. Subsequent to the passage of 12A, all you have is van Buren succeeding Andrew Jackson - and GHW Bush succeeding Ronald Reagan.In the context of 12A, the sitting VP is the political heir of the sitting POTUS. If Mr. Trump is able to confound “the media” and leave office with high approval, VP Pence has a shot at the presidency. If not, not.
