Who was the last VP to run for President against his old boss?

THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN FIELD, WHICH already features the first former U.S. President ever to be criminally indicted, is about to get even more unprecedented.

- OLIVIA B. WAXMAN

Who was the last VP to run for President against his old boss?

On June 5, Mike Pence filed paperwork to run for President, making him the first former Vice President to run against the President under whom he served in over 80 years, and only the third ever to do so.

"We haven't had anything like this before," says Joel Goldstein, an expert on the history of American Vice Presidents and law professor emeritus at St. Louis University.

History can be a bit confusing on this point. In the election of 1800, a sitting Vice President, Thomas Jefferson, challenged a sitting President, John Adams, for the top office, but each was the leader of an opposing party. The electoral system was completely different back then; the candidate with the most votes was elected President, and the candidate with the second most votes became Vice President. The 12th Amendment got rid of that system in 1804.

Menopausal women in revolt

In the early 1990s, young women raised on second-wave feminism but marginalized within the punk scene revolted. Dubbed riot grrrls, bands like Bikini Kill and Bratmobile aimed wrathful lyrics and gallows humor at a culture of misogyny as it manifested in their own lives, from condescending male musicians to abusive fathers. Now, those artists are in their 50s. And while sexism persists, it touches older women in different ways.

A Korean master dampens the power of a corporate thriller

THERE'S NO BETTER TIME FOR AN ADAPTATION of Donald E. Westlake's unsparing 1997 novel The Ax, which treats downsizing as a form of dehumanization. The bad news is that No Other Choice, the Ax adaptation Korean master Park Chan-wook has long wanted to make, isn't the picture Westlake's cold shiv of a novel deserves. As fine a filmmaker as Park is—his 2003 Oldboy is a chilly, operatic masterpiece—No Other Choice is too dully observed and too slapsticky to hit its mark. It's a missed opportunity dressed up with proficient filmmaking.
