    There have only been a couple exceptional situations where the incumbent has not been the candidate. Never in recent history. Incumbents have a 60% success rate of re-election across offices. It’s even higher among presidents …only Bush Sr and Carter failed to win re-election since WWII.

    Actually, there is one other: Trump. Who did he loose to again?
