Opinion | Joshua Spivak: Joe Biden's vice presidential pick will be deeply consequential. That is far from the norm. - NBCNewsTHINK
And so it was for 124 years, from the time Vice President Martin Van Buren won the Democratic Party's nomination in 1836 until Vice President Richard Nixon was awarded the Republican presidential nomination in 1960. No vice president elected in between later captured his party's nomination for president. Seven vice presidents during that time managed to become president, but only because the presidents they served died in office.
However, starting with Nixon — excluding Mike Pence so far, of course — eight of the last 13 vice presidents went on to win their party's nomination for the presidency. Only the disgraced Spiro Agnew, the unelected Nelson Rockefeller, the long-ridiculed Dan Quayle and the health-challenged Dick Cheney — all Republicans — didn't manage this feat. All five Democrats in that group of 12 ended up capturing the nomination.
This change coincided, perhaps unsurprisingly, with a new method of choosing nominees. Before the 1960s, presidential candidates were selected during the parties' conventions, and the vice presidential slot was a last-minute bargaining chip and consolation prize for some faction of the party or candidate.
