Romney, who voted to convict Trump in both impeachments, said Biden should pardon his opponent so the country doesn’t have to go through the prosecution of an ex-president.
Ford pardoned Nixon. He didn’t get elected to a full term after finishing the remainder of Nixons. We can argue about if the pardon was the final nail in the coffin (The economy shitting the bed didn’t help, I’m sure.), but I think we can agree it was definitely one of the nails.
Nixon also resigned. There was no chance of him coming back but it didn’t do anything to convince conservatives in the 70s. The movie Dick is a great primer on how Nixon’s resignation radicalized Republicans.
