Joe is definitely not leaving the White House until he issues some quid pro pardons.

I'm not saying he will stay thru Jan 20, 2025 necessarily

The last time the current VP ran for office was 2000, Al Gore

edit: my favorite has to be Marc Rich by Bill Clinton, such an obvious quid pro quo, he didn't consult DOJ or US Attorney handling the Rich case, completely blindsided federal prosecutors... it's my favorite because he was so brazen and shameless about it
