Donald Trump will be the second US president to serve two terms that are not consecutive.

After Grover Cleveland, Donald Trump is the second US president to be elected to two non-consecutive terms.

Only two presidents in American history have been elected to two non-consecutive terms, including Donald Trump.

After losing to Joe Biden in 2020, he is predicted to defeat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

Trump won his first term in the White House by defeating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Grover Cleveland was the only US president elected to two non-consecutive terms prior to Trump.

Grover Cleveland: Who Was He?

In his forties, lawyer and anti-corruption reformer Grover Cleveland entered politics, first as Buffalo’s mayor and later as New York’s governor. He won the presidency in 1884 after overcoming a scandal involving claims of an affair and an illegitimate child. Following the Civil War, he became the first Democrat elected to the White House.

The Haymarket Riot of 1886, a significant development in the workers’ rights movement, and the creation of the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1887, which introduced federal regulation of railroads, were two pivotal events during his first term.

Cleveland’s presidency was not without controversy, despite his achievements. By refusing federal assistance to drought-stricken farmers and vetoing pension bills for Civil War veterans, he infuriated certain groups. When he ran for reelection in 1888, Republican Benjamin Harrison defeated him despite winning the popular vote.

Cleveland Grover’s Second Term

Grover Cleveland’s political career continued after his defeat. He was unhappy with Harrison’s leadership of his party and feared that another nominee would encourage cronyism, which Cleveland had opposed. He made the decision to run for a second term in 1892. His message of tariff reform gained a lot of traction this time, as the country was going through a severe economic crisis, and he won by a landslide.

Economic difficulties, particularly the Pullman Strike and the Panic of 1893, dominated his second term. Cleveland’s return to the White House is still regarded as one of the most unusual periods in American political history, despite the fact that his support within his own party declined.

Like Cleveland, Trump’s discontent with Joe Biden, his successor, is a major factor in his bid for a second term. The non-consecutive terms of Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump continue to be an uncommon achievement in American history. Theodore Roosevelt and Martin Van Buren were among the other presidents who made unsuccessful comeback attempts.

As of the latest updates, Donald Trump is on the brink of a landslide victory in the 2024 presidential election, securing 267 electoral votes compared to Kamala Harris’ projected 224. The former president swept the seven swing states before this. The 79-year-old is ahead in five states: Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada. He has already won Georgia and North Carolina.

In his victory speech, Trump described the Republican campaign as the “greatest political movement of all time,” adding, “We are going to help our country heal and fix our borders; we made history for a reason tonight. We have won the most amazing political victory. I would like to express my gratitude to Americans. I will do everything in my power to defend you and your family.

Harris has not given up yet.
