Has this happened before?

Kamala Harris is the first woman to become the VP of the United States. She is also the first woman to certify the presidential election results, a race which she ended up losing. Has this ever happened before where a VP ran for president, lost, and then had to certify the results?

There was a lot of things wrong with the 2024 election. She didn't offically run, not really. You see, she was basically pushed into it when Biden dropped out six weeks before the elections. She wasn't even voted in as the nomnie, yet the country ran with it. Just because the left needed a canidate.

What happened this election is crazy. Biden should’ve never run for president again. And Harris should’ve never been put in his place without the American people actually voting for her.

@porwest I don't know how she suddenly became their canidate.... because she wasn't elected or anything. It's like we need a face for the party and we don't have time to do things the right way.

It's new to me. I think another reason she lost was that she is a woman. Sad but men just can't take it. Pretty comical really. It was a weird situation. I hope we can get a woman in there at some point.

I’d love to see a woman president one day but only if she is a great candidate to run the country.

@Kamuigan seems to be happening these days, at least with the Biden administration. Seems some were hired into office not because they were the best qualified for their position but because they were the first trans person or the first woman or the first someone else.

Hi back at ya. It was interesting to learn that this is not the first time a VP had to certify the presidential election that they lost.

Sure. To date, 49 vice presidents have run for president, with many not receiving the nomination. Six won the presidency and seven lost their races, meaning assuredly some of those 7 had to certify to their opponent.
Aside from Harris, Al Gore was the most recent example.
