Who is the only president ever reelected after defeat?
Cleveland lost his re-election bid in 1888 but won again in 1992. Nixon ran for president and lost in 1960 but won in 1968 and again in 1972. Jackson lost in a 4-man race in 1824, then won in 1828 and again in 1832. Jefferson came in second in 1796 but won in 1800 and 1804. I think these are all the losing presidential candidates who came back to win. Lincoln, Hayes and maybe others lost an election before winning the big one.

Depends on how it happened. Lets say you ran for president you won, then ran again and lost you can run again as many times you like but once you won two elections that's it your done you can't run for president any more. So in all yes if you haven't won two elections yet.
