The 1800 election was widely expected to be a rematch between President John Adams and Vice President Thomas Jefferson, with Jefferson pulling out a victory. However, due to the President's unpopularity with the alien sedition act and the XYZ affair, Sean Washington usurped him for the nomination. Despite Jefferson's popularity, Washington managed to gain a slim victory.
