Vice President-elect JD Vance will be the 50th person to hold the office when he is sworn in in 2025, standing a better chance than most to become president.
Historically, only a handful of vice presidents have successfully been elected president, making the next four years an interesting time for Vance.
With only four vice presidents successfully ascending to the presidency after the Twelfth Amendment was ratified in 1804, the odds are against Vance.
The most common way for a vice president to become president remains through the death of the sitting president, with eight of fifteen vice presidents ascending this way.
