Which of these vice presidents was the first to challenge their boss for the presidency?
Thomas Jefferson was John Adams’ vice president from 1797 to 1801. He was the first VP to run against his own president. The last time was when John Nance Garner, FDR’s vice president from 1933 to 1941, ran against him in the 1940 Democratic primary, opposing FDR’s New Deal policies and his decision to run for a third term. That is, until Donald Trump’s VP, Mike Pence, announced his candidacy on June 5, 2023, challenging his former boss in the 2024 Republican primary.
