His running mate was Franklin D. Roosevelt...the only vice presidential candidate on a losing ticket to come back and be elected President.

I don’t think he had one. There is a good summary of the election here...

Indeed. That was the only election where both of the vice-presidential candidates would go on to become President.

Indeed. Calvin Coolidge died two months before FDR was sworn in as President in 1933.

Since the adoption of the 12th amendment in 1804, only two Vice Presidents have become President other than by the death or resignation of the President--Martin Van Buren and Richard Nixon.

You are right. So 3 cases in 216 years. Let's hope 2020 is not the 4th.

The Economist has been relentlessly anti-Trump. It's latest issue says Trump has a roughly 10% chance of winning re-election.
