Don't know much about politics pre Reagan (or even pre Bush tbh), were these two swamp? I know JFK cheated Nixon out of the presidency the first time but did Nixon eventually fall into swamp?

If you’re the guy that’s chosen as president instead of elected (Ford), I’m gonna say 99.99% chance you’re DS
He wasn’t chosen, when Nixon resigned the VP (ford) takes over the admin.
In parliamentary governments you’d have new elections.
Ford was going to be a lame duck no matter what.
He was chosen as VP though and at that point I assume they knew a good chance Nixon would step down
