Warren Gamaliel Harding was the 29th President of the United States, from 1921 until his death in 1923. In turn of the Democrats picking James M. Cox, the Republicans choose their candidate from Ohio. Also, Warren G. Harding was a newspaper publisher. Harding virtually ignored Cox, and campaigned against Wilson. He called for a return to "Normalcy". He had a 4-1 spending budget. He won with a landslide victory. Harding remains the largest popular-vote percentage in Presidential elections after the era called "Era of Good Feelings" ended the victory of James Monroe in the election of 1820. He had 404 Electoral votes and 16,144,093 popular votes. He had 34 states following him and voting for him. His percentage 60.3% of the votes.

When President Harding rewarded his friends and political contributors, also know as the Ohio Gang, with financially powerful positions, corruption and scandals became his administration. One of his cabinets members and many others were tried and sent to jail for bribery and/or defrauding the federal government. Harding was rumored to have many mistresses, along with his wife. I bet she wasn't too happy about that. Harding, though, made some positive appointments in his cabinet. Historians and Scholars have said that Harding was one of the worst presidents we could have.

President Harding died suddenly in 1923, no one knows why. Its been rumored that the wife might have poisoned him. His sudden death didn't intensify the inquiry of his knowledge and potential involvement of the scandals of his administration. Because of this, his marble memorial wasn't put up until 1931.
