The1900 United States presidential election in Missouri took place on November 6, 1900. Voters chose 17 electors to represent them in theElectoral College via a popular vote, pittingincumbentRepublicanPresidentWilliam McKinley and his running mateTheodore Roosevelt against theDemocratic ticket of challengerWilliam Jennings Bryan andAdlai Stevenson.Missouri gave Bryan 51.48 percent of the vote versus McKinley's 45.94 percent, a margin of 5.53%. While losing Missouri, McKinley nevertheless won the national election by a 6.13-point margin.
After 1900 and before2008, the state voted for the national winner in every election except for1956 (coincidentally, Missouri voted forStevenson's grandson in that election). However, that reputation began to fade after voting for losing Republican candidates for two elections in a row in 2008 and2012. McKinley was the only president in American history to win two terms in office and lose Missouri twice until 2012 and is the only Republican president to ever do so.
Bryan had previously defeated McKinley in Missourifour years earlier but would later lose the state toWilliam Howard Taft in1908.
