New Jersey overwhelmingly voted for theRepublican nominee,PresidentWilliam McKinley, over theDemocratic nominee, formerU.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nomineeWilliam Jennings Bryan. McKinley won New Jersey by a margin of 14.17 points in this rematch of the1896 presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in theSpanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.
Bryan had previously lost New Jersey to McKinleyfour years earlier and would later lose the state again in1908 toWilliam Howard Taft. McKinley was the first Republican to carry New Jersey more than once, and the only one to do so untilDwight D. Eisenhower in1956.
