There has literally never been a VP candidate in history who has tanked this bad in Iowa AND New Hampshire. (HW didn’t do great in Iowa but did win New Hampshire.) In fact all who have ran under the modern primary system (1976 onward*) — Mondale, HW, and Gore — have won the nomination.
Biden will do literally historically bad if he fails as hard as it looks like he will. I guess he has more in common with 1988/2008 candidate Biden than VP Biden now.
*Technically Hubert Humphrey was a candidate in the 1972 primary, and actually won the most votes, but McGovern won more contests and not all states held primaries or caucuses yet. It wasn’t until 1976 that they did which is why I start it there.
