Kamala Harris' election would defy history. Just 1 sitting VP has been elected president since 1836
As Vice President Kamala Harris begins her fall campaign for the White House, she can look to history and hope for better luck than others who have tried the same
Ooh OOH I wanna play too:
Donald Trump’s reelection would defy history. Zero former presidents who overtly tried to stage a coup after losing an election have been elected president over the entire history of the America’s existence.
Fr tho what sort of asinine false equivalence is this
We've only had 46 Presidents in the history of the country, chances are history will be defied every election in one way or another.
And if Trump wins, it would be the first time since 1892 that a non-incumbent former president was elected.
History can’t help but defy itself, on a daily basis.
Hey, the Whig party could reform and field a candidate
Or, the first Felon Criminal Traitor Who attempted a coup on the United States of America. Definitely a first. She would be the first female president and also save us from a SCUMBAG.
Or, the darkest timeline: Tulsi Gabbard becomes VP after Trump drops Vance and wins, he croaks shortly after and the first female US president ironically oversees the destruction of female rights in the US.
yea, that's the metric that would make it special
Harris's election means there is a woman US President. I think that would "defy" history a little bit more, don't you?
Harris would make history in multiple ways - first woman president, first president of Indian subcontinent heritage, second sitting VP to get elected president, etc. All music to my ears.
Then Republicans get to say, daily, it means sexism is dead. 😣
Historically, Obama was the first minority to lead a major nation. But, the US has become way behind when it comes to gender. Many major nations have had women leaders. As Gerry Ford once said, "if we get a woman President, men better watch out". And he's right, that's 51% of the population.
So, at least as it pertains to the Presidency, Republicans would be right.
Sensationalist headline since it was just 36 years ago that this happened...
Sitting and elected
George H. W. Bush ran for and won election in 1988. He was the Vice President to Ronald Reagan from 1981-1989.
Bush Sr
How many vice presidents ran for election while their president was finishing up his first term?
