If the election went to the House and Democrats picked up the Senate but not enough state delegations in the House, that would result in Trump being reelected but with a Democratic VP. The Senate would elect a Vice President.
How would that work? These days, the VP is associated with the Executive Branch. Divided government in the White House has never happened before.
What I mean is since the modern Vice Presidency was created. Back in the day, the VP had little to do with the President and wasn't part of the administration. These days they're an integral part.
The last Vice President to regularly preside over the Senate was Truman's VP, Alben Barkley. Nixon is arguably the first modern Vice President.
