The presidency of Warren G. Harding began on March 4, 1921, when Warren G. Harding was inaugurated as President of the United States, and ended when he died on August 2, 1923, a span of 881 days. Harding, the 29th United States president, served during a period in American political history from the mid–1890s to 1932 that was dominated by the Republican Party, excepting after the 1912 split when Democrats held the White House for eight years. American history texts usually call it the Progressive Era.
Harding took office after defeating James M. Cox in the 1920 presidential election. His 26.2 percentage-point victory (60.3% to 34.1%) in that election remains the largest popular-vote percentage margin in presidential elections after the so-called "Era of Good Feelings" ended with the unopposed election of James Monroe in 1820. Harding's share of the popular vote was also the greatest percentage since 1820, but was later exceeded by Franklin Roosevelt in 1936, Lyndon Johnson in 1964, and Richard Nixon in 1972.
