1892 U.S. Presidential Election

The 1892 U.S. Presidential Election was a contest primarily between incumbent President Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, and former President Benjamin Harrison, a Republican. Cleveland, seeking his second term, emphasized issues like tariff reform and government honesty. The election also featured populist candidate James B. Weaver. Cleveland won the popular vote and the electoral college, unseating Harrison. This election was notable for its economic debates and the rise of third-party influence, reflecting growing rural and agrarian dissatisfaction with industrialization and tariffs. Cleveland’s victory marked a rare return to the presidency after losing his reelection bid in 1888.
