Resumen del editor
What scandal nearly cost President Grover Cleveland the election? Get the inside story on this episode of Now I Know. The Presidency of Grover Cleveland is already unique for the well-known reason that his two terms were not consecutive. Cleveland won the 1884 Presidential election by a narrow margin – less than a half a percent of the popular vote – and took the Presidency. Four years later, Cleveland again won the popular vote – 48.6% to Benjamin Harrison’s 47.8% – but this time, he failed to get a majority of the Electoral College and returned to private life. Cleveland, though, was undaunted; in 1892, he ran again, and for a third straight campaign took a plurality of the popular vote, and once again became president.
