Joe Biden has the slim chance to achieve what no other presidential candidate has done before, but to make it happen, he needs some luck—and a state—to go his way.
To be elected president, a lot has to go right for a candidate. They have to be a quality politician, for sure, but they must also have some luck on their side. With that said, Joe Biden will attempt to do what no single candidate has done before— and that's secure their party's nomination without a top-two finish in both the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary.
With two poor showings in the nation's first caucus and primary, hope may be dwindling in the Biden camp, and perhaps rightfully so. Not one single presidential candidate, Democrat or Republican, has gone on to become their party's nominee after being in Biden's position—fourth and fifth in Iowa and New Hampshire respectively.
So these events are rare—every other candidate in 12 sets of caucuses and primaries spanning from 1972 to 2016 would lose after finishing top two or worse in both contests.
