A trend started by Jimmy Carter, who gave important portfolios to his number two, Walter Mondale, with emphasis on foreign policy. But until then, the story was different, many are the cases of men who went through that office and who did not have nice things to say about it. The truth is that 1 in 3 Vice Presidents have reached the U.S. Presidency, that&#8217;s 14 of the 45 men (and never women at least for now, but Kamala Harris may change the game).<\/p>\n<p>Find out
