No. The United States has had Presidents with other party affiliations, like the Federalist and Whig Parties, as well as some who belonged to no party at all.
Politicians may run under any legally organized party (we'll skip the details of how a party gets on the ballot), as an Independent (no party) or as a Democrat or Republican. The US two-party system has become a tradition, but a President is not required to belong to either to be elected.
