1908 United States election

The 1908 United States presidential election, held on November 3 of that year, was the 31th presidential election of the  former United States of America(not to be confused with the post-1933 exile settler-state of  Americuba ). The first election after the sixteenth amendment, this election followed a presidential term with a high amount of conflict between the Conservative President and the Pro-reform House of Representatives of the Era. The election’s winner was the noted liberal politician and Republican Nominee William Howard Taft, although he won only a plurality of the nation’s popular vote. This election would see third parties of the era, including the Socialist Eugene V. Debs and Populist Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan. In Congress, the Republican Party, while retaining a majority, lost 54 seats in the House of Representatives and 8 in the Senate. Meanwhile, both the Democratic Party and Socialist Labor make significant gains, with the SLP entering the Senate for the first time. This was the fourth consecutive term won by the Republicans in the White House.
