Who ran in the election of 1916?

Answer 1

President Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) was re-elected as President in the 1916 election, defeating Supreme Court Justice Charles Evans Hughes (Republican)

Wilson won the popular vote 49.2% to 46.1 % and the electoral vote 277 to 254.

Answer 2

While Wilson was opposed to the US entering WW I, he realized it might be unavoidable and started military preparations as early as 1915. This became one of the Democrat's issues during the 1916 campaign. The Republicans nominated Charles Evans Hughes and he was considered a "moderate" on the war. His views were very similar to Wilson's--try to avoid war, but be prepared. Because Teddy Roosevelt toured the country supporting US entry into the war, and because he supported Hughes over Wilson, the Republicans became the party who favored the US entering the Great War, in the public's opinion. The election was very close but the anti-war western states went for Wilson and the Democrats narrowly won with an electoral vote of 277 to 254.

Well, darling, in the election of 1916, we had Woodrow Wilson running for re-election as the Democratic candidate, and Charles Evans Hughes running as the Republican candidate. There were also some other folks from smaller parties throwing their hats in the ring, but let's be real, they didn't stand a chance. In the end, Wilson squeaked by with a narrow victory, proving once again that in politics, anything can happen.
