The House of Representatives chose the president in early 1825, since no one got a majority of the electoral votes.

His views seemed closer to Jackson's than to Adams', but his three states all voted for Adams. After Adams won and appointed Clay as his secretary of state, jackson supporters believed that Clay had made a deal, making Adams president in exchange for his becoming secretary of state.
