Any instances where a the current president of the time...?

goes up for reelection and gets eliminated in the primaries.

I don't think they ever do, and that makes the primary election for that particular party of the current election a given

Well, remember Johnson dropped out when he realized he would be defeated in the general election. He probably would have been picked as the candidate, although we will never know.

There is always a first time.
