No US presidents were from the state of Delaware.Rutherford Hayes, the 19th President was born in the town of Delaware, Ohio.Joe Biden, the current vice-president is a former senator from Delaware.
The vice presidents who were nominated by their parties and lost the election were Thomas Jefferson in 1996, Richard Nixon in 1960, Hubert Humphrey in 1968, Bob Dole in 1996 and Al Gore in 2000.

There have been eight left-handed Vice Presidents in United States history: George H.W. Bush, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, and James Garfield. Left-handedness is relatively rare, with only about 10% of the population being left-handed.

Of the 14 U. S. Vice Presidents who became President, the only one whose presidency did not immediately follow his vice presidency is Richard M. Nixon. He did run for president while still the incumbent vice president, but he lost that election (1960) and did not run again for president until 8 years later. It's interesting that Nixon preceded Lyndon Johnson as vice president, but Johnson preceded Nixon as president.
