By The Numbers - part the fifty ninth

So, now that it appears the Kamala is the new Sleepy Joe, how has that worked out in the past? History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes (attr. to Twain).

Number who ran - 19 (from primary)
Number who ran as candidate - 11
Number who won - 6
-- the wiki

But, we can dig a bit deeper.

How many made the White House directly after their President? - it appears to be the 6, but I haven't found an explicit source. Close enough for gummint work.

So it appears to be better than 50/50 chance. I'll take it.
