  Incumbents typically win elections. People wouldn’t be as uncertain about her. She could jump in and start pushing her policies. Since none of her policies could get implemented before election, nor the consequences of them, she would slide right into office.

      It isn’t nonsense. If you don’t understand basic political theory, that is on you. It is well-known incumbents have a much better chance against a challenger.

        Incumbents do have a better chance. But impeaching the current one to suddenly put a VP in, and then applying the same logic of “incumbent better” makes no sense.
