In August 1923, Calvin Coolidge ascended to the presidency after the unexpected death of President Harding. Just one year later, he faced reelection in a showdown between himself, Democratic nominee John W. Davis, and Progressive Robert M. La Follette. Coolidge won a decisive victory, with 382 Electoral votes and 54% of the popular vote.
