There are other examples of presidential race rematches, but they occurred far earlier in U.S. history. Then there was John Adams, a Federalist who was the nation's second president, and Thomas Jefferson, its third and a Democratic-Republican.

When that failed, Roosevelt ran for president on his own Progressive ticket, which became known as the Bull Moose Party after the former president joked that he felt “as strong as bull moose." Democrat Woodrow Wilson won that November's election, but Roosevelt came in second, winning 88 electoral votes compared to just 8 for Taft, the incumbent.
