Two vice presidents battled it out. One major poll said Nixon had a lead, the other said Humphrey. Both by only a couple of points. The candidates do their Telethons, and the nation votes.

VICE PRESIDENTS AS CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT: A LOOK AT HISTORY WITH DAVID PRIESS OF CHATTER PODCAST

As we discuss with David Priess of Chatter Podcast (and the author of books on national security and presidential history) - it's tough to run for President when you are the sitting VP. It hasn't worked that often. Just twice since the 12th Amendment changed the election rules surrounding VPs, a vice president has won the big job. David goes into why this worked. And why on many other occasions, it did not work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
