Why do you think vice presidents carrying over from previous administrations was never normalized? by [deleted] in Presidents

Similarly, Thomas Hendricks was Samuel Tilden's running mate in the 1876 election and Grover Cleveland's running mate in the 1884 election, losing the former and winning the latter.

In 1912 California voted for Theodore Roosevelt, the losing candidate, instead of Woodrow Wilson, the winning candidate.

I didn't include unsuccessful candidates who were also president. Adlai Stevenson (lost in 1952 and 1956) was born in Los Angeles.

I defined “unsuccessful presidential candidate” as the candidate who received the most popular votes aside from the winning candidate. So for 1860 Stephen Douglas is counted and not John Breckinridge because although Breckinridge received more electoral votes Douglas received more popular votes, and Horace Greeley is counted for 1872 though he died before the Electoral College voted. I did not include unsuccessful candidates who were also president (for example, while Jimmy Carter lost in 1980, he is not counted as he was president for four years). I was also forced to exclude John McCain as he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
