On November 8, 1892, Grover Cleveland, a Democrat, was elected as the 24th President of the United States, defeating the incumbent Republican President Benjamin Harrison. This victory made Cleveland the only U.S. president to serve two non-consecutive terms, having previously held office as the 22nd president from 1885 to 1889.

In the 1892 election, Cleveland secured 46.0% of the popular vote and 277 electoral votes, while Harrison received 43.0% of the popular vote and 145 electoral votes. The Populist Party candidate, James B. Weaver, garnered 8.6% of the popular vote and 22 electoral votes.

Cleveland’s re-election marked a significant political comeback, as he became the first and, until 2024, the only president to serve non-consecutive terms. His second term began on March 4, 1893, and concluded on March 4, 1897.
