The path from vice presidency to the presidency is fraught with challenges, leading many to label it a 'poisoned chalice'; few have successfully transitioned.
Despite the high expectations, many former vice presidents, like Kamala Harris, have found it difficult to capture voter support when striving for the presidency.
Historically, nine of the fifteen vice presidents who ascended to the presidency did so through death or resignation, highlighting the precarious nature of this role.
The vice president usually assumes a background role, making it challenging to pivot to a successful presidential bid without the solid backing of their administration.
