1824 United States Presidential Election

1820 Presidential Election - 1828 Presidential Election

Results
After the disappointing results from the 1820 election, the Whigs decided to nominate Gabriel Vigil, Governor of Pennsylvania and leading head in the Whig party, who would have more name recognition and funding, as well as be perceived as less radical than McWilly. The Democrats would go on to nominate Vice President Louis Mayes of Maryland to carry the torch of Mish Fox, declining to run for a third term and to stay true to his message in 1816. The Federalists have been officially disbanded upon the growing support of the Whigs, and most have joined their party. Ironically, the Democrats would face a reversed situation from 1820 as a spoiler candidate in the form of Andrew Jackson joined the race under the Jacksonian party. Governor Vigil would go on to win and become President after a close and tough campaign, despite his seemingly comfortable victory in the electoral college.
