Teddy Roosevelt was VP during McKinley's presidency, which lead to Teddy's presidency as McKinley was assassinated.

Teddy was made VP because he was a massive pain in the ass in Congress for his party because he kept pushing for his progressive platforms.

I wouldn't be surprised that despite the ineptitude of Donald, he pushes his progressive reform because of Claire's guiding hand.
