Great to receive my copy of 'American Presidential Election Campaigns', edited by @IainDale. There is a chapter on every US presidential election.
I wrote the chapter on 1872, one of the most fascinating, in my view. The Democrats were so pessimistic about their chances of defeating Ulysees Grant that they nominated a Republican, Horace Greeley, who turned out to be a highly eccentric and erratic candidate, who died within days of the election.
Congress refused to certify electoral votes for a dead man, making him the only Democratic nominee not to receive any electoral votes. – at Faringdon, England

OUT TODAY! Delighted to have contributed the 1860 election chapter to this.
It explains how Lincoln was only able to be a great statesman because he was first a great politician. A lesson for all wannabe leaders.
The primaries were a masterclass in strategy, tactics and execution

As we await the results of the #USMidterms, how might the election campaigns of the past have constituted the present? And more importantly, how might both inform the next presidential election campaign in 2028?
Out Now: American Presidential Election Campaigns 1789-2024 by @IainDale offers a comprehensive analysis of the US's most vibrant election campaigns from Washington to Trump.
“Wise, gossipy and wildly entertaining, this is essential reading before 2028.” @scaramucci
