In the 4th presidential election in United States history, incumbent Thomas Jefferson wished for re-election against Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of the Federalist party.
But as Jefferson served his four-year presidency, popularity for him picked up even more. The results tell the tale as he dominated the 1804 election with 162 electoral votes
If you compare this to Pinckney, he picked up just 14 electoral votes. But this didn’t stop him from running again in the next presidential election in 1808.
