Elections were held for the59th United States Congress. It occurred during theFourth Party System. Republicans maintained control of the presidency and both houses of Congress. For the first time since the1828 election, nothird party or independent won a seat in Congress.
In the presidential election,Republican PresidentTheodore Roosevelt defeatedDemocratic judgeAlton Parker fromNew York.[3] Parker, a conservativeBourbon Democrat, won theDemocratic nomination on the first ballot, as former PresidentGrover Cleveland and former presidential nomineeWilliam Jennings Bryan both declined to run. Roosevelt dominated both the popular vote and the electoral college, carrying every state outside the South. Roosevelt, who succeededWilliam McKinley after the latter was assassinated in 1901, became the first vice president to succeed to the presidency and later win election to the presidency in his own right. The election also saw Florida hold the first presidential primary, although Florida delegates were not bound by the results of the primary.[4]
Republicans won major gains in theHouse, boosting their majority.[5]
In theSenate, the Republicans picked up one seat, and maintained a commanding majority.[6]
