Well that was devised before parties existed. The most popular candidate was president and the person with the second most votes became vice president. It was a way to force compromise but, of course, we amended the constitution to have P and VP run together.
So, originally, if the president died, vacated office, etc., it was the second most popular presidential candidate that became president.

Kamala would be VP and take over once the dementia gets too harsh.
