The 1920 United States presidential election was the 34th election in the history of the United States. It occurred on November 2, 1920. This election was between Governor of Ohio James M. Cox and U.S Senator from Ohio Warren G. Harding. Harding won the election by 404 electoral votes. James M. Cox got only 127 electoral votes.
This election would be historic as almost every candidate would later serve as President, as Harding served from 1921-1923, Coolidge from 1923-1929, and Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1945.
