Hamilton had a lot of political enemies. Which one did he help become president?

Hamilton so disliked Aaron Burr that he vied for Thomas Jefferson in the 1800 presidential election, which was neck-and-neck between the two candidates. In a private letter to a House member, Hamilton wrote, “Mr. Burr loves nothing but himself—Thinks of nothing but his own aggrandizement—and will be content with nothing short of permanent power in his own hands...In a choice of Evils, let them take the least—Jefferson is in my view less dangerous than Burr.” Sounds familiar.
