      So much ink was wasted on the quadrennial "will the VP be replaced on the ticket?" game.https://twitter.com/DavidMDrucker/status/1297900494887825409 …

      Ford in 1976 was the last POTUS to replace his VP on a re-election ticket, FDR in 1944 was last to replace a (living) VP w/whom he'd previously been elected. Before that: FDR 1940 B. Harrison 1892 Grant 1872 Lincoln 1864 Van Buren 1840* Jackson 1832 JQ Adams 1828 Jefferson 1804https://twitter.com/j_tothe_g/status/1297924537439227904 …

      Was FDR the last person to switch running mates? Ford doesn’t count since he and Rockefeller served but didn’t run on a ticket before Ford ran with Dole.

          You probably know some of those stories, like Burr in 1804. Van Buren in 1840 dumped Dick Johnson, ran without a VP candidate. John Quincy Adams not only changed VP candidates, his VP (Calhoun) ran on the opposing ticket, but was replaced on Jackson's 1832 ticket.

          James Madison's two VPs, George Clinton & Elbridge Gerry, both died in office. Gerry you know as the namesake of the gerrymander. Clinton's nephew was Madison's general election opponent in 1812, months after the uncle died.

          In all seriousness, the available Democrats were a very short, unpleasant list. Selection of Andrew Johnson was a classic of what happens when you artificially restrict who you're considering for VP.https://twitter.com/presjpolk/status/1297928928259080192 …

          I think the National Union ticket was a good idea, but maybe there was a better Democrat to pick.

          And some of those are pretty extreme circumstances: 1804: Burr tried to beat Jefferson in the Electoral College in 1800 1864: Hamlin needed to be replaced by a Democrat for the creation of the National Union wartime ticket. 1940: Garner ran against Roosevelt for the nomination.

          JQ Adams in 1828 also deserves a caveat. In 1824, Calhoun was the VP pick for all 99 of Jackson's electors and 74 of 84 Adams electors, along with 7/38 Clay and 2/40 Crawford. He wasn't what we'd think of as Adams's running mate in the modern sense.
