The incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover was defeated in a landslide by Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, the governor of New York and the vice presidential nominee of the 1920 presidential election.

Tilden in 1876. Roosevelt was the last sitting governor to be elected president until Bill Clinton in 1992.
