How many times has a president who was elected ran again and lost.?
In the 19th century – – Grover Cleveland had two terms as President but didn’t win for his immediate re-election / / in the 1974-80 elections Gerald Ford was approved as Nixon’s VP after the resignation of Spiro Agnew just by vote of the Senate, I believe – – he lost in a re-election bid as the Republican nominee in Nov. 1976 (Carter won but was not re-elected when the next election came around) and ex-President Ford was not offered the Vice-Presidency by the 1980 nominee / primary winner : Ronald Reagan.
