BIG HEADLINE posted:Truman won his own campaign in 1948. It was still the last time the Democratic Party held the White House for an uninterrupted 16 year period. Yes, but FDR had to die first in this chain of events. Truman wasn't elected President until he'd been President for three years. The distinction is, somewhat, important. I get what you are trying to say: the democrats have not had two consecutive elected presidents since Truman won in 1948, but...how much of that is an aftereffect of Truman having been in charge for three years prior? Does the election look different if FDR dies in '43? Or lives out his term to retire in '48? Maybe! Difficult to say. The example you are looking for -- the last time a Democrat succeeded a Democrat electorally -- is Franklin Pierce to James Buchanan. Which.....lol.
