Any other incumbent president had lost the election?

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 3 months ago

Most recently, other than Trump, George HW Bush lost the election while incumbent. Prior to that it was Jimmy Carter.

The next most recent person to win the election but lose the popular vote was George W Bush, prior to that is was Harrison back in 1888.
