When Abraham Lincoln was nominated for President for a second term, Andrew Johnson replaced Hannibal Hamlin as Lincoln's running mate for Vice President. (Hannibal Hamlin had been Lincoln's Vice President during his first term in office, as President.)

Abraham Lincoln won the 1864 Presidential election, with Andrew Johnson as Vice President. Lincoln served less than 2 months in office during his second term as President when he was assassinated on April 14, 1865.

Andrew Johnson, the Vice President then took the role as President when Lincoln died.
