Not recently, but FDR went into 4 elections with 3 different candidates for Vice-President. They were more decided by the party than the candidate back then, but if there was ever a situation where it made sense to ditch a VP candidate, this would be it. A declining 81 year old on the ticket with someone with a sub-40% favorability rating is a potential disaster.
